I wanted to add some driftwood to the tank (since it was looking pretty bare), but after two trips to the beach collecting little bits of driftwood, I realized most of it was softwood. So I pretty much gave that up, and decided to look for a rock with lots of nooks and crannies instead. I brought home about 4 rocks, and the largest worked out the best.
I also picked up 3 feet of background from Petcetera for $1 (which I will eventually cut down to size), and a new lamp from Rona.

Morbo went and checked the new hiding spot right away.
When I put the background in, Morbo discovered his reflection, which he spent several days flaring at.

Next up, I'm hoping to get some Java moss to start on the rock, and some ghost shrimp. Right now, I think my tank is in a happy place. The nitrate levels are going down, thanks to the plants
