Collecting manzanita
Thanksgiving morning. Besides God, family, friends, a job, abundant delicious food (anticipated), and everything else, I'm thankful to be able to walk outside and collect dead Manzanita tree branches for my aquaria. #ThanksgivingDinnerForPlecos #MyOwnStumpery

Re: Collecting manzanita
That looks great, and certainly well weathered.
Is it to add wood to existing aquariums or do you have something new in mind?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Collecting manzanita
Thanks Marc. The wood is just for saving as needed. I do need more wood in a couple of existing tanks, and I'm converting one 20 gallon long cory tank to a pleco tank.
But most of these pieces are 6-8 feet long, so I'll need to cut them to fit.
Cheers, Eric

Re: Collecting manzanita
I put together a collage of the photos and video I made while collecting. In the end, I had to leave some of the branches behind, but I got a LOT of good pieces to work with.

Re: Collecting manzanita
Great video Eric. It kills me to think how much manzanita I chopped up and burned in brush piles in my youth.
