Using Grapewood?

[meegosh]

I never noticed any on my Malaysian, that's odd. Even if the white algae is normal, the breaking apart of the wood is definitely a bad thing. After a few weeks of soaking, and then a week in the tank you could break the whole thing apart, easily, with a little pressure and your fingernails.

It was like a million termites went to town on it. Malaysian sinks faster and looks better (I think), I'd steer clear of grape.

Roger well put,after a couple weeks the mold/slime does not come back.We sold some wood to the Tropicanna in Vegas over 8 years ago and the wood is just fine.I had a nice pc in my tank and it was just as nice 5 years later.Its actually a vine,so there are no slivers and the fish the nibble on it or clean it love it.Capital aquarium in Sac Cal had a pc in for several years.Thank You

I'm not trying to start an argument, simply stating what I've found out over the years. Since I had problems with the grapewood rotting and actually breaking apart in my tank, I thought I would share my experiences. At ease, soldier.

No Worrie meegosh,everybody has a right to their opinion but if you would have been patient and do what Roger said in an earlier post the slime(protein) would have stopped .if you would like I will send you a piece to try in your tank, if you like it and it works well for you send some pix and pay for the postage.Thank You gary send an email glcampbell@clearwire.net
