水草情迷

I found this two kinds of wood selling in fish street. Anybody can tell me what is the difference between them.

Thanks

the same la.. just different brand name .

OIC

Thanks you !

Generally I agree with Super. There is not much different between 流木 & 沉木 sold in fish street. Technically 流木 means piece of wood or branches washed down by the river. It may not "sink". On the other hand 沉木 is the one that definitely sink, as suggested by its name.
Careful when you buy 流木 & 沉木 in fish street. I 've bought some that do not sink at all! Do anyone know how to choose wood that sink?

sean: Thanks

In fact, I bought a 沉木 long time ago. Fortunately, my 沉木 can sink into the tank. However, I don't have a big enough cooker for color fading management before I put into my tank.

其實我覺得魚街的沉木也好，流木也好，應該是同一回事，名稱不同吧。流木是日文的講法而已。應該經過處理，泡久後都會沉下去的。處理方面，如果不用熱水煮都可以，用熱水(沖涼的熱水都可以)反复沖洗，泡上幾天就OK了，如果不急用，則用涼水泡個多星期都可以，期間要換水。如果想急著用，在熱水里用牙刷刷洗，反复用熱水沖泡，沒有顏色滲出時，就沒有問題了，當然這樣做應不免多少還是會滲出少少。供參考。

qlmu: Thanks you for your detail information, however I don't plan to put the 沉木 into my tank, cos my tank is too small & crowd now.

其實買個小塊的都不會太擠迫，應該可以找到合適的，有些適合立著擺放，向空間發展，不會太阻位，綁上莫絲真的不錯。除非你的缸真的很小。

My tank is 20"x10.5"x17" and the 沉木 is like a L shape 8"x8". I afraid the 沉木 will block the light if I put it into the tank. Anyway, thanks you for ur suggestion.
