Just a thought for those of us decorating on the cheap. Last night I went to Wal-Mart and for around $20 picked up some fake red leaf vines, ivy vines, suction cups, and a hot glue gun. Then for about 5 minutes of labor I cut them into sections and glued the suction cups to them (and glued over any sharp points) to hang all over my tanks! Out of a 5 foot section of read leaf vine and a 9 foot section of ivy I got enough fake plants to hang in all of my tanks with some left over. I think I'm gonna take the left over and drill some holes into a couple of the hide bowls and glue the left overs in. If I went to any of the major pet retailers for this it would have ran me at least $80 for the hanging vines I made. I would love to show pictures but my digital camera sucks and stopped taking pictures.

Sounds lovely... I have the vines & the suction cups... guess I need to get the hot glue gun out!
