anyone know a nice river or lake around the los angeles area i can go to hunt me some wood? lol i dont really wanna buy one and the ones im looking for are the huge thick ones or other pieces like tree stumps and etc.
I have a large, very heavy piece of manzanita... It leached tannins in my water like crazy! I let it sit for months, and it still will release tannins.
I took it out of the tank it was is, and moved all the fish to a larger tank.. I did however transfer water over from the other tank.. more than a year later, the water is still yellowish and I do water changes every day. lol.
And the driftwood is not even in the tank.

I got mine from: http://www.thedriftwoodstore.com/
Best selection I've found, great service, and they also sell some pretty cool rocks/stones as well.
too bad you weren't closer, i'd give them to you, i have 2 big, awesome looking peices, with natural holes and stuff in them. both are atleast 3' long
