I am planning a weekend trip ti a local lake to see if I can find some driftwood for my 125g CA/SA cichlid tank. What preparations or treatments of the wood are necessary before placing in the tank?

ive seen people soak it with bleech before setting it up. but i didnt do all tht. when i found my driftwoods, i just brush and wash it up, and set it up. done ! i nver had problems with it neither to my fish, even my plecos like it. it's been about a yr now i think.
I wouldn't bleach, if it soaks into the driftwood it would leach back into your tank.
If have patience I think sun dry is the best / safest. Or a lot of stores use a pressure washer.

I figured I would boil any smaller pieces I collect. I only have so big of a pot. Beyond that, I figured power washing would be better than nothing on the larger pieces. Thx for the ideas.
