how long was the tank up and running for before the video with the fish?
:)
Really liked the video!
They use those a lot in aqua scapes.

That was my first proposal, too :-)
Cheers!
I will give Amazon a go but shipping costs to my country are normally prohibitive for heavy items - plus I will probably have to pay import duty since I live in a VAT free zone (and unfortunately as far as I know Amazon doesn't do VAT free sales?).
Ebay is less trustworthy - I've tried to get things delivered before - sometimes they turn up, sometimes they don't... I suspect some of the stuff ends up sitting in customs for a while and then goes back without ever reaching me :S
Properly cured / treated driftwood is safe and actually recommended with all soft water fish (most tetras, South American Cichlids, West African Cichlids, many "blackwater" Asian rasboras etc.). It helps to keep the water soft and acidic by leaching tannins over time.
You can use it with other freshwater fish that like harder water as long as you maintain the GH and KH at appropriate values - it takes time for the tannins to lower pH so it won't crash overnight the pH of a tank with high KH (such as an African rift lake tank or similar). You just need to do regular (weekly) water changes with the appropriate levels of buffers / salts and it should be fine.
I don't know whether it's safe to use with reef tanks or not - my inclination would be to leave it out of a saltwater tank because it's uncommon to find a lot of driftwood near a reef (correct me if I'm wrong?).
Maybe it could work in a mangrove type set up (brackish?) or a sea-grass / macro-algae saltwater tank? That's something to research I guess :)
Sorry if that was a silly question, it's my first time having fish and I don't want them to die if it's not safe for them
You're lucky :)
Its a pain to order things into my country since it's VAT free and a lot of companies won't / don't deliver here... Our fish shops probably don't get a lot of choice with their suppliers. That said, I can ask them to call me if they ever get in something like that piece :)
I wanted to do something similar to you regarding standing a piece on it's end to look like a submerged trunk with roots - when you've finished it remember to upload a video so we can all see how it looks :)
I have some bits of driftwood (some from shops, some from the river) but none of them as pretty as that... My shop never gets in rooty twisty pieces like that... I've asked and they've requested them from their supplier but the supplier mostly sends flat pieces of Mopani wood... My best bet is to find some out in the woods by the river - I'll keep looking!
Thanks
Wild Heckel Discus maybe? They would look brilliant in this setup.
Why are you acting like I'm the dumb one here? You said, "fastest brush skills, ever..." You should have known.

That's big.
What kind of Sand are you using? I am going to redo my tank with sand.
I have Cory Cats and want to make sure I use safe sand for them.
Thanks!!!
