Martin Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Since picking up this addiction hobby, I've found myself gambling purchasing driftwood and rocks online through Amazon and the like, just to see what kinds of pretty pieces of hardscape I might get. I can't even use it all, but it's all so pretty! It's like buying packs of baseball cards! Anyone else do this or do I need to get help? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted September 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2021 This is a probably the wrong place to ask this question. Most of us are enablers and will encourage you to continue buying cool aquarium items! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atitagain Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It’s bound to pay off. And even if it’s ugly can always be at the bottom of the stack, put moss all over it, or just let it fill up your storage area like I do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy buying wood and rocks, may I introduce you to the joys of slag glass chunks and Made in Japan vintage fish castles? Those might be "games" you enjoy "winning". Goodness knows I do! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 How does it average out? I keep seeing really pretty pieces of wood on the interweb and can't bring myself to throw the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve gotten more great pieces than bad but even the bad with a saw look good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I am an amazon addict...yes I know....I am deeply ashamed🥺 I have bought between 12 and 15 pieces of driftwood off of amazon and almost all have been very good. take some anubias or java fern or the like and attach it to the wood and you have a great MOVEABLE piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
