[UniQuaria] wood for pleco
Deb: Where can you find wood??? I’ve looked at all the pet shops I know of and they only have what they call driftwood. Can you simply use a nice looking branch from an oak tree? Barbara In a message dated 5/4/2008 3:17:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time, dmelton2@gmail.com writes:
Trevor: I have used several types of wood successfully in my tanks. I select wood that is aged and dried all the way through. Using a turkey roasting pan I first boil the wood and then let it simmer for about 24 hours or so until it absorbs enough water and stays submerged. I do have one large piece of wood that refuses to sink though so I drilled a hole in a patio brick and screwed it to the wood. Keeps it submerged nicely. I then “planted” the brick in the tank and covered it with substrate (sand and pebbles). Hope this helps. Deb Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
