gBOYsc2 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 as the title states... does anyone know where I can get cheap aquascaping stuff in Edmonton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekbottom Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 This isn't Edmonton, but there is a guy on ebay that is selling lots of driftwood, and it's pretty cheap. He's in BC so shipping was actually reasonable. The only problem is you'd have to assemble your own 'custom driftwood piece.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gBOYsc2 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 That's fine if I have to assemble my own piece. I'm not too picky I just want something to give my fish a little cover for the time being. Got a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfong Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've got a bunch of rock that I'm not using. Some of it is lace rock and the rest is black rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Canaar and Burnco are great places to get rocks. Sometimes we get so few rocks for the aquarium that they don't even charge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrosionjerry Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I would get the rock at Canar... I would stay away from that kind of drift wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What side of the city are you on rayfong? Also how big are the black rocks? Canaar and Burnco are great places to get rocks. Sometimes we get so few rocks for the aquarium that they don't even charge! Thanks Jason. Will have to check that out. What side of the city? It must be southside because everything I ever need is on the opposite side of the city haha. I would get the rock at Canar...

Not sure why you would stay away from wood like that. All aquarium wood is collected in the wild. Yep pretty standard for any wild driftwood. Boil in a large pot or sun bake forever. Any other methods of treating I should know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'm on the north side of the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 gBOYsc2...can also throw into the oven till the core of the wood is heated to kill anything. Can treat soil and rock (some types) in this same regard. Been doing it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
