ARMYVET Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I use mostly bogg wood, mopani and spider wood in all my tanks. I leave the pressure treated 2x4 outside for the deck...😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlefish Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Srq airport used cedar for their large welcome aquarium. I used it for years after in a shrimp tank when I saw that, as it's the only available local aquarium-safe wood. I didn't have any problems, but who knows...

So I mixed it with the morning wood, and they love it.. BUT.. does freezing it make it last a bit longer and make less of a mess? Is there a better way of dehydrating it beside the 24 hr in an oven directions on the bottle? I also add vitachem to my mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just started using it only my second batch, what I do tho let it gel for a couple hours then take out of cube trays keep separated in freezer bag. The drop in water for couple minutes so it will sink where I want it to or so I can tear it into smaller pieces. Never had a problem with left overs in a couple 8 hours max all is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I have actually gone to taking small rocks or slate pieces and coating them with the repashy so they can eat it without it moving all over the place. They can hang and graze like they would in the wild. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess... most driftwood in the peninsula appears to have the characteristics of dried up cedar. Beautiful, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeg Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I dont want to be that guy, but repashy is a little overrated 😐. At least for me, tried it with the guppies/ pleco and they didnt seem to care for it that much. They like shrimp and algae wafers tho😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna try different verities one at a time to see which if any others work out. And I really like I can make a big batch and freeze it to use over a couple weeks. Or I can make a small batch and feed it all in one feast. which type did you use the community blend? Or have you used different types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
