I removed the manzanita wood piece from my tank today and planted the buce that were attached to it into the substrate.
FISH UPDATE:
15 strawberry rasboras
8 golden white cloud minnows
7 Cardinal tetras
5 Red pencilfish
7 pygmy corydoras
On paper it seems like a lot of fish, which it is, but not a huge bioload. I may remove the rasboras when my second tank is set up in the near future. Building a stand for it now, although I don't have the tank yet. It will be a 60 Tall which holds 30 gallons.
I made the mistake of not using a quarantine tank when I brought home the cardinal tetras. Lesson learned the hard way! I've been battling fin and tail rot that spread to all species. Treated with full 3 dose treatment of Kanaplex. No harm done to plants or beneficial bacteria colony. Fish are healing and fins/tails are growing back.
On a side note, Pygmy corys laid some eggs and I was able to hatch out 2 babies.
Plants are filling in nicely. I like the layout without the wood, although I love that piece of manzanita! It took up a lot of room and caused a lot of shading. Here's the current layout.
