Driftwood

[TroyFish]

Hey guys

Not sure if this is the right place to post this:p

Im looking for driftwood, if anyone in PTA has and wantsto sell or get rip off let me know.

Also i dont think i can use the shops name but does any one know prices and sizes at the atturbury PS?

Cheers

[Franna]

Think its like R25/kg. and that's allot. But I may be wrong

[TroyFish]

But do they have? Do i need to do the whole soaking story with it?

[Franna]

They have ALLOT. and yes i don't think they would have gone to the trouble of soaking it. its a long process. mine has been in my tanks for a year and it still leeches allot

[Zoom]

Most of wood from LPS will leech for a LONG time. I personally feel the only way to get rid of it is Purigen!

[Dolphin]

I have a few pcs for R25/kg...

[TroyFish]

The sad thing is that you are a bit far from me

I know a shop in centurion on old jhb road that sells drift wood with plants on them . I know a guy who also has some .

[TroyFish]

Unless it can be delivered other wise wont help me.

Dolphin, what sizes do you have and could you supply me with the prices

Thanks man

On the whole leeching issue i soaked mine for abt 8 hours filling a drum and covering the wood then wen it cooled filled up again with hot kettle water with some salt i did this until there was no coloured water left i added it to the tank and it hasnt leeched at all from day one and it sinks and does not float at all its 400grams and i know its on the small side so bigger pieces will take longer but this is what i have found to work

Just got off the phone with them.....R48/kg. I think they are:stupid:

[Franna]

I was there like a week ago and they had alot!:eek:

[Franna]

on the days they get stock its packed. I would say go the dolphin route. especially if he is coming to Lynnwood soon. its worth the wait and allot cheaper

[TroyFish]

Yeah thats true. Will be doing it through Dolphin

[beesboer]

Thats what happens when people turn a hobby into a money making scheme

[Lizid]

I am sure there must be atleast on shop that has the passion for the hobby...

[oscar freak]

That shop will one day be me:bigsmile: one day.... TASA Members get dicount:p
MASA members pay double:mad: lol just kidding

[oscar freak]

lol,the idea has really crossed my mind a few times,u know how hard it is to find a really decent fish store

[TroyFish]

Open one at your house if you have the space. Dont pay rent, but you will have to pay normal taxes as to a pet store if im right

[oscar freak]

You should try that petshop at the Rietfontein Pavillion centre aswell, they have a whole pile about a 1.5m high as you walk in! Not sure about pricing though.
