Driftwood

susankat · 12-24-2009, 04:43 AM

Well I finally got that one certain piece of driftwood for the 220 planted. And heres a pic. Mopani stump 21 inches tall and 18 inches at the base. Listed price was $70. but with my discount and trading 10 bristlenose juvies my final price was only $30

Merry freaking XMAS, jeez thats a stump not a piece lol

Well, I can't see the pic of it...probably blocked from my work laptop, but just by the sound of those dimensions....WOW! I'll try looking up the thread at home. I love the look of driftwood in a planted tank.

excellent piece of driftwood! I paid $30 for 2 pieces a fraction that size :[

WhiteGloveAquatics · 12-24-2009, 03:07 PM

I paid 30 bucks for a sliver of that lol.

Looks like you might have to trim it, hopefully you dont soak the mopani, if so thats gonna be a long process for a piece that size, god that thing is awesome. trade you my 52" sony bravia 1080P TV for it.

susankat · 12-24-2009, 05:15 PM

The tank its going in is 72 x 24 x 31 so it won't need any trimming. It sure does help to breed fish that the lfs wants so get to do a lot of trading.

gotta love a good deal on a big piece of DW.
nice pick up

squirrelcrusher · 02-13-2010, 12:06 PM

Other than trading with your local fish store, where is a good place to get driftwood? I want a nice big piece or two for a 55g planted tank

susankat · 02-13-2010, 04:14 PM

Aquabid has lots of nice pieces on there at not a bad price. Even swap shops on different forums. You can also go to river beds and such and find some cool pieces.

The DW in my angel tank is all collected native, less one piece I got from ebay for a steal that came from the mountains of west virginia. its an awesome piece, smaller but it creates a cave when stood on its "base" that the kkuhlis and corydoras claim.

WOW! It is beautiful. I feel cheated that I bought a piece of planted driftwood that is a mere sliver of yours for $24.
