    Best place to get driftwood in Sydney ?

    Hi I am looking for some decent driftwood. Checked a local place, and they have expensive small pieces (infested with a white insect when you knocked the wood.). Anyone recommend places that sell nice driftwood , will go for a drive if need be. Or should I just go bush ?

    if you go Bush, you will have to treat it for up to several months to remove excess tannins, and ensure it is safe for your tank...

    Hey,
    I used to live over northernbeachs. Brookvale Hi-Tek aquariums has some good stuff. I can find out the adress for you if you would like.

    Thanks BlackGhost. I know where the Hi-Tek aquariums out at Brookvale is , I popped in their once on the way home from Warringah Shopping Mall. They have some nice display tanks, with some huge saratoga if I remember right ... anyway something big in their tanks.)

    I will check out a few places this weekend ... will can the idea of going bush (for drift wood anyhow ... cause it is just too nice of weather not to go outside.)
