let it not be an impulsive buy at the least. Plan before you pay. Pay in Kgs rather than the looks, thats how shop guys get it, so better you pay that way.

my plan is to keep this driftwood in the center and surround it with the same grey rocks that i have... and plant anubias around.

[ Image ]

the size of the wood is 40 inches X 10 inches and 33 inches height....one piece..... how much should i pay ??

what are your views guys ?? hardscape gurus please give me a thought and your inputs.....

thanks....
This wood is unusual AND fantastic. The smaller more slender branches are likely to disappear with time, but as of now, and as soon as you get it all waterlogged, it could give you a sensational aquascape. They compliment the thicker branches well, and collectively, add a touch of stellar novelty.

Any idea where this was procured from in the wild? Wish it was possible to ascertain what tree species it is from. But that is often very hard to say...

stellar novelty ?? didnt got that part bro,

these are imported ones and the LFS guy usually gets his stuff from singapore will try to ask him.......

Amanoesque :shock: long way to go bro....

for this my plan is to keep this wood in the center and keep the rocks and sand, and just plant anubias around thats itt.....

It is big and beautiful wood. No any shopkeeper will sale it in KGs. Tied moss in the upper parts and Anubias in lower parts.

Precious wood.

When you buy a wood you should not buy a big one, as you cant use them in a different way, you have to stick with the shape of the wood. I may do work with small tanks, but I love to work with wood having single or couple of branches, you may work as you want.
