RE: [APD] Cork bark, where do I locate thee

My experience in doing a 65g and a 54g corner tank, back walls and terraces:
The Cork Store said one pound is about a square foot of coverage. I ordered
about twice that and was glad I did. I threw up some web pages on my
experience at www.KoEdCandies.com/cork.htm  Hope you have a decent pipe to
the internet because the pics are big and slow. I haven't had a chance to
optimize them yet.

Hi All,

I'm setting up a small paludarium (20 Gal) and for the back of the tank I
want to use cork bark but can't find it locally. Most places that sell
on-line seem to sell it by the pound. Any idea how many pounds I'd need to
cover a space 24" x 17"? I imagine it's pretty lightweight but having never
handled it I don't know for sure. Or, if you know of anybody that sells it
locally in or near New York City that would be even better. None of the LFSs
in my neighborhood seem to carry it.

Also, if anybody's got any suggestions for good plants for a paludarium I'm
all ears. This is a first for me so all advice is appreciated.

Regards,

Dave
