The shipping is expensive due to the sizes, both my large manzanita stumps were over $200 each shipped!

Smaller pieces wouldn't be too bad considering the wood itself would be free. I'm going on Sunday so I'll post pics in the social group so y'all can see if y'all want any.

I can only imagine HUKIT!

That'd be great cbourg! I'm looking for a super small piece as a centerpiece for my 6.6 gallon, as well as some for my bristlenose living in my tanganyikan tank

Might wanna throw a HOB on it for surface movement unless you plan on adding a *gulp* air stone haha

Why the *gulp*? Not a fan of air stones?

 

[Freakgecko91]

I've always found them to be a bit tacky, as well as look completely unnatural

Just my opinion though

I hear you there, I've been going back and forth on mine. I only like them because there tucked into my rock scape, looks like big, more natural bubbles coming from caves or whatever. And obviously to put more air in the tank. But I hear you, the tubes dangling kill me, and the bubbles themselves kind of take your eye off the fish I feel. I only asked because I'm kind of on the fence..

Technically it's not adding oxygen to the water, it's just disrupting the surface, which allows for proper air exchange

Well if you want to get all technical with it... But ya, I was doing that with my wave maker for a bit, but like I said in another thread, my fish love swimming against it so much. And my hob filter, I keep the water in my tank high enough that I can't see it below my top, so no breaking of the surface there. So Bubbles are kind of a must for me, to sleep well at night anyways.

Night #3

Tank looks sick on the stand IMO!! Trim work started tonight and a dry fit for the tank. So far so good. It is a little off level but i'm gonna shim it up.

 

[Nathanpopp]

That is so tight. On god.

 

[Nathanpopp]

The stand looks luxurious

That looks amazing man, kudos. You have much experience in carpentry? You going to make a top for it?

I dabble a bit in woodworking. no top planned but who knows. I've changed my mind a few times so far so anything is possible.
