Thanks Kevin!
I'm pretty excited too. It sucks waiting, but it's giving me more time to think and plan.
The plan for the fake root is rather modest. I want it to sit a little lower in the tank, so I'll have to mod the mount. I need to repair a crack in one of the roots. I also want to move it just slightly (maybe an inch) to the left, to give me a little more room for cleaning the end glass panel. I'll need to coordinate this with the lengthening of the seagrass planter. Really the only noticeable change will be a new paint job. I'm hoping to make it browner and darker overall, and a little lighter towards the top - kinda like the pic JZ posted above.
I haven't considered adding more roots. Mainly because it turned out bigger than I wanted. I can see how it could be better with more roots, but I don't think I could muster the gumption to do it. I'll be happy if I can make the changes I want, without messing it up!
