Hey guys/gals

Question... Who likes to use real driftwood in their aquariums? Where did you buy it or did you make it yourself?

Has anyone ever bought driftwood from this website:

Yes, I do like driftwood, I have got two very large pieces in my 300 gallon aquarium. No, I didn't make it, I bought it fully prepared so I had no worries about being not safe.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

I have 2 pieces of mopani, both treated and one was used in a previous tank for a long time. The fish store I go to lets me sort through a big bin of used driftwood and pick stuff out for like 2 or 3 bucks. It definitely pays to get to know the fish guys at a 'real' fish store.

Cool site.... I like the real driftwood better than the fake. I bought both of my pieces at my LFS. Paid a pretty price for them but fell in love with their design. I like how the real driftwood changes colors after being in the water. The fish like to swim through it and around it too. I have a pleco and he lives on that thing!

I HAD 2 pieces in mine:



I just took this big piece out though. As cool as it was, it took up valuable swimming space in my 120 gal tank. It needs a bigger tank to allow swimming room.



Now I have to try to sell it!
Just call me Brooksie!!
