Driftwood

Hey guys

Not sure if this is the right place to post this

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

the good thing is that I'm coming to PTA tomorrow...CBD area.

 

Anywhere near elarduspark?

 

nope not that way tomorrow... but likely to go past there next week on my way to Lynwood...

 

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 .

 

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:

 

yip went to find out today. R48

 

Too expsensive! Is there anthing new there?

 

I'll need to check the weights and get back to you...

 

nope just the same old same old. most of there plants are gone asswell

 

Thanks Dolphin. Will you be transporting anything else?

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

 

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
