    Does anyone have any grapevine or guava branches to spare? Not too big, for a standard 100l. I'm in Cpt.

    You are in CT , you are surrounded by grapevines. I recommend a saw and a fast pair of legs to get away from the angry farmer :)

    I'll put my ear to the grape vine and see whats around

    I have a guy who does firewood around the corner, can see if he can get a few decent branches.

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering, we have a guava tree at home, do you think one could take a branch and cure it somehow for use in the tank?

    Darryn are you looking for grapevine or guava branch? I have 2 pieces of grape vine, but I'm beginning to think they're not right for my tank.

    Linxie: I don't really mind. As far as I know both are safe for tanks (once cleaned, soaked,etc).Do you have any pics of the pieces.Maybe we could make a deal. LOL
    Thanks

    I'll take some pics tonight if I can. They're currently in my tank... have been for over 3 weeks now (I think lol) and they haven't leeched anything into the water.

    (I boiled them the first day, then soak, rinse, repeat for the next few days till the water was clear)
