Where Can I Get Big Bog Wood?

[SamUK]

Ive seen the smaller pieces in all the LFS but i want an actualy branch or something for my 6x2x2 tank.

anywhere i can get them in the UK?

My LFS has just what you're looking for, unfortunately not in the UK. There are some pieces meant for ponds and large aquariums that are as big as a 55g and 100g aquarium.

your lfs should be able to special order.mine got a 6-8 feet long piece in a couple of months ago special order for a customer.wont be cheap though why not use stainless steel screws and screw a few pieces together.be a lot cheaper.

Look at landscaping outfits. I've seen pieces that are 12' long.

If you don't have any luck there, check ebay for it. There's quite a lot of reasonably large pieces on there available for shipping. About what length are you looking at?

Bog Wood that piece is 19" wide, 17" high, 10" deep. But there's quite some other sizes and shapes too. Just browse I'd say =)

Just go to a lake, man! I've found bogwood as big as me!! Not sure if you could use bogwood from a lake, though... would surely need some killer cleaning.

We have a big tank and you can get fantastic effects by using different pieces togther its far cheaper and you can move it around when you get bored
Before water fish plants etc

and after

the effect is great cos like I say if you get bored you can just rearange it all

trouble there is i cant have plants and i dont like plastic ones (they wouldnt stay in place anyway, my oscar and plec who likes to dig would make sure of that).

and bare pieces of wood wouldnt quite create the lovely tank you have.


i have the exact piece i want in my head ( i kno i wont get it exact lol) and im determined to find a branch or something rather than a little piece for my new tank..
