Yeah, you really don't appreciate it until it has been in your tank for a while and the different tones and hues start to really come out. I love mine tooI have Malaysian and Mopani driftwood which I bought from the LFS. They've been my tanks for many years and some are starting to break down. I also have some Manzanita that I collected off my mom's property. I've had the Manzanita for I guess 4-5 years and it's still in really good shape, not breaking down. I really love the coloring of the Manzanita.
Huh. The big piece of Malaysian drifwood in my 225 has been there for 6 years now, and it hasn't softened at all yet. I suppose it varies pretty significantly from one piece to another.I have Malaysian and Mopani driftwood which I bought from the LFS.

All driftwood is pretty expensive in my area, at least. I don't remember what I paid for mine 6 years ago, but it was over $100. Average price is probably about $2-3 per lb.so these malaysian driftwoods are expensive right? u bought yours, jclyde13 ?
