i have a few pieces.
One is almost 4ft long as shown below

i can let go at 45$ for the piece above

I have some other quite big pieces of wood also if you are interested.
They are all good looking as i am selective when i buy wood

deck, u gotta look ard.. try nature, aquamart.. oso there r different types.. bogwood will be more ex. i pay 3 pieces of $70 each..

deck,
LSZ is indeed very selective when choosing his wood.. and yes.. while boawood is very much nicer than driftwood, they are indeed very ex.. u can try FF along lor harlus.. that is what LSZ and i last went to look for drift wood..

you can always try those non-bogwood types, cuz you get nicer branchy kind of woods. kind of like the kind nature has in his tank. I found one nice big one at gen x for $24 and the only prob is you have to labouriuosly strip off the bark . but I like the raw wood texture and colour that results. will take pics soon!

Which is driftwood and which is bog wood?

**Simon** · 29th Jun 2002, 11:58

vinz, driftwood is the normal type u see at lfs.. bogwood comes with 2 tones, lighter on the top and darker on the base

**vinz** · 29th Jun 2002, 13:07

ok... I think I got it. Thanks

deck, u can try H2O, they do have some nice mangrove root.. got some from them...

**sherchoo** · 1st Jul 2002, 02:05

Those roots type kinda thin looking, do you want that for your 6ft? IMO, go for the bulky looking looking ones. Benetay got quite a few nice ones for his 6ft from Teo's.

**Simon** · 1st Jul 2002, 08:28

sherwin, dun be mistaken.. there r big mangrove stump not only thin roots...

**wks** · 1st Jul 2002, 08:38

Yep, H2O's mangrove root is very nice looking. I got one from them when I set up my 3 footer. Couldn't resist it eventhough my tank is a bit small.

**Simon** · 1st Jul 2002, 09:40

too bad, they dun hv x-large roots... dun mind changing my bogwood in my 6ft
