My haul from a local estate sale...
Well in light of my tank redux plans I went to an estate sale that touted a bunch of aquaria supplies etc. Most looked like old junk and there were a few aquariums that were overpriced but I was looking for rocks and wood and that is what I found.
1 Small Mopani 10"
1 large Mopani 20"
1 hardwood drift wood 12"
1 hardwood drift wood 8x5"
2 large red lava rocks
1 large red 6x8x1 slate
30 bucks
I also have a large black lava rock. I now have the media in which to attach my low light plants when the time comes. Obviously these were used in a tank some time ago. Does anyone have any recommendations on treating these before I use them?
Should I give them a mild bleach bath the boil them?

Nor would I
I don't know about 'subtle' . . . But, I do know you wouldn't have it any other way.

Man....That's a good deal. That Swahala piece in the bottom left of pic usually runs 20-30 dollars by itself, at least.

Where I live, it is really hard to find a good deal like that on dirft woods
That one pc is really outstanding and will look great in your tankIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
