Where to get decently large pieces of wood/ trunks

[Farhan123]

Hello all. Does anyone know where I can get a large realistic looking/real tree trunk that is preferably hollow on the back to put into the corner of a 75 gallon tank? If anyone has seen King of DIY 2000g the large tree trunk in the corner is what I am looking for. Something like that except probably not from Aquadecor that I have a kidney to sell for. Also any other places besides Aquadecor that sell the rocky bottom mat type of things?

Thanks

I don't have a preference for real or fake. As long as it is a good size and also affordable and is safe for the fish.

Go to the woods my man. That is if there be woods near by to go to. Almost any hardwood will work.

I gotta dumb question, but how is hardwood identified? Is it as simple as being hard or soft?

When I lived in WI, I would pick up drift wood from the shores of Lake Michigan.

Above one pf my tanks back then.
Now that I live in Panama, I collect drift wood from the shores of the Pacific.
I collected the log below a few days ago. To gauge size, the Andinoacara is about 7"

I don’t see why you could grab a piece of wood unless it’s in a protected area like a state a national park.
