Default Cheapest source for larger Malaysian driftwood pieces for 125H g discus tank

Can anyone recommend cheap sources for larger Malaysian driftwood pieces for a 125H g 60 x 18 x 24H in. planted discus tank?

I'm looking for a mix of pieces with branch arms + 1-2 pieces that are wall-like with fewer arms and preferably for a supplier that lets you choose the piece from photos showing measurements.

Someone on ACA recommended Ted's Fish Room, which lets you select pieces, but which I wouldn't call inexpensive. Maybe I'm out of touch with recent prices though.

I was just looking here. I'm not sure if they have the type you want.

I was on a site yesterday with large sized wood for $15. Try to find that for you.

Here is the information I just got a reply back. This guy is cool.

Nice to meet you to Craig. The fish are all doing well.

You can pass on both my e-mail aquaticclarity@hotmail.com and my web site www.aquaticclarity.com

And thanks!

Jeff

He doesn't have much on his site yet but you can e-mail him I've seen some spectacular stuff from his collections.

What do you prefer? Manzanita wood or Malaysian driftwood?

I've never used Manzanita wood - does it appear much lighter once soaked than Malaysian driftwood? Malaysian driftwood is dark brown.
