Pretty cool peice for my tank...

Post by busybones »

We went to a reptile expo today and found this cool little thing used in reptile tanks. I thought it'd make a great thing to hide a small to med bubble strip. the seller said it was aquarium safe and it's heavy enough to stay on the bottom..i'm not sure where else they sell them but thought it was a good idea and wanted to share!

Is it hollowed-out choya wood?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Yeah, it doesn't look like real cholla, the holes look too uniform. Great idea to use it for covering the bubble strip! How does it look in the tank, got any pics? ;) :D

Choya can have really uniform holes, but if it's real, you'd know it - it would be very obvious. Very light and porous and woody.

Yeah definitely not cholla, I know what you mean about the holes, but that just looked too sort of "perfect" to me. Anyway I was thinking, it would also make a nice little tunnely, cavey type thing for smaller fish. You could even get two and glue them together and stand it upright. Might be interesting.

I was actually thinking about getting a piece of cholla for my tank about a week ago, but decided it would fall apart, or never sink. good find :)
