I don't know anyone local with any, but here's good source out of Cali and he does ship.. I know a couple guys that have bought from him.

I got mine from plantbrain(tom barr) on plantedtank.net and couldn't be happier, he's got some really nice large and twisted prices...

Not to steal hobbyorobsession opportunity for any, but I am interested also for my 210g. Any others out there?

 

[hobbyorobsession]

Good luck I haven't found anything locally that works for me but I'll share info if I come by and local sources

Here's a trick. check out some of the local petshops that feature birds. Manzanita is sold in some of these shops as perching supports. They may not be as ornate as some would like, but I've seen some pieces that were really nice. Good luck

I just ordered some from Rich at: http://www.manzanita.com/aqwood.htm

Really a nice guy and the prices were reasonable. I have two large branches coming, one is 42" the other is 48". These will go into my 210g that I am still in the process of setting up.

Check these guys out, they have some nice individual pieces or you can just buy a box of branches. Shipping is not too bad since they are in Cali.

Just a follow up.

I got my two large manzanita branches and had asked for a couple small pieces to give the look of smaller broken branches off the larger pieces. These were thrown in at no extra cost and there were about a dozen of them. The wood was shipped UPS and came in a large box. I am very happy with the speed of shipment, the quality of product and the friendly staff. I will definitely buy from them again!

1st attempt at pictures.

The link seemed to work. Let me know if it does not. I will attempt another try at it.

These are two pieces; one is 42" the other 48". I have them in an intertwined combo to appear to be one large branch. I will prop some large stones under key spots to get it up off the gravel. Again this is inside my 210g (72x24x29).

I am so close to getting this thing set up. I just finished reinforcing the floor under the house and am just working on the plumbing at this point.

Very nice wood

 

[DMD123]

Thanks, Spyral!

I cant wait to get my fish in there!

My current stock will be in for sure but I'm still trying to figure out two more cichlid tankmates. Possibly a Pearsei, maybe an oscar. Something on the large yet peaceful side...

 

[DMD123]

Very nice wood

Thanks, it was difficult to find anything local. I am very happy with what I got.

Yeah I am always on the hunt for nice local wood, I need to see it before I buy it , so its a hard find.
