Driftwood for plants - Aquarium Advice

dskidmore · 08-13-2006, 10:10 AM

I got a deal for a lot of 40 pieces of driftwood (plus a few individually selected pieces, plus some bonus pieces for being a good customer), and obviously didn't need it all for my aquarium. I would like to keep a few spares on hand, but I am willing to let people have their pick in exchange for some plants.

I have:
Wood I have previously sunk, may require re-boiling:

Wood I have either not tried to sink, or failed to sink, may require slate mounting:

I also have some crystal vals to trade.

I want:
I have a 2WPG 75 gallon tank that seriously needs some mid-ground and foreground plants.

I have a moderate lighting 2.5 gallon tank that needs anything miniature.

Are you interested in selling single pieces of driftwood, I'm looking for two pieces, one for my 10 gallon and one for my 29 gallon and I'm particularly interested in a couple that you posted above, 2 and 15.

Let me know!

No problem. Do you have any plants to trade, or do you want to make an offer?

I don't have any plants to trade, sorry, I'm in need of some myself. Just let me know what you'd like for them. I would like ones that sink, I really don't want to have to attach them to slate, I have one of those already and I hate it.

What sort of wood is it, the florida stuff?

I got it off a fellow on e-bay, trenajane25879. I believe it's from a river, but I don't know which one.

I'd be interested too....I've got lots of plants....mostly high light but some might work for you. I'll send you a PM with what I have.

Scientific data on the Vals, (although so far people are only interested in the driftwood.) I've got huge bunches of the crystal vals, will have to toss them if no-one wants them.

Jungle Vals - Vallisneria americana (gigantea)
Crystal Vals - Vallisneria spiralis

Forgive me everybody if I'm a bit slow on the uptake. I just got word of a family emergency I may have to take care of tonight.

Several people have asked for a quote on the driftwood:

People who want to trade plants I want will get prefrence over those who want to buy for the same piece of driftwood.

Purchace price will be shipping plus $2 per piece. (I paid a little over $60 for 50 pieces, plus I may have to buy a couple boxes for the larger pieces.)

Trades will be individually negotiable.
