Default Drift wood in calgary?

Im looking for somewhere i can pick up some driftwood for my new 90 galon tank in calgary. The wood they had at big al's wasnt what i was looking for for the most part. Also took a quick walk down the bow couldnt find anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions/hints where i can find some. thanks.

Don't know if it's "driftwood" per se or that Mopani or whatever it's called, but Elite in the south has some very nice (and very large) pieces as well.

Is it me or is 80-100 bucks for a 30x15" peices of drift wood really really over priced...

that being said, i wanted some longer but thiner peices and the cheapest i could find in these stores were like 30-40 bucks for most of the ones i sorta liked... but then i would need 5-6 of them.

The piece I offered you cost me $100 (this was at half-price) at Big Al's at one of their Boxing Day sales. I would be willing to let it go for $50, which is one-quarter of the full price, or half of what I paid for it. However, it might be too big for your tank, and as you did not reply to my PM I guess you have no interest in stopping by and taking a look at it.
