zen

I like the juni and the waterfall, very nice. As to what you could use to set off the tree and cover the filter apperatus while also not blowing your illusion of proportion all to hades, I would think a some sheets of moss that could be removable should you ned to get to the filter. You can find out how to grow sheets of moss here in the forum,...just do a search, there have been some great articles written by BT members on cultivating and collecting moss.
