Driftwood or not?

Interesting Peice Though!

Thanks. It has a weird shape.

I wouldn't risk it. Who knows what kind of disease those things carry. Buy a piece that will sink right away made for aquariums.

I would get them from lfs but last time I saw dw at a store it was 20-30$ for half the size of the wood in the pic I posted.

Okay. Thanks for the info, I was going to do it today but I used the rest of the bleach I had when I cleaned my dogs house( spot on the side of my house). So I will do it tomorrow after I get some more bleach.

Try to boil it or use some method of soaking in HOT water also. And just to be safe if you bleach it, soak it in some sort of dechlor or prime solution afterwards. Good luck.

LOL at "Made for aquariums" Anyhow, as stated bleach, dechlor and soak in hot water. If you have some slate, you can attach it to the wood with a stainless steel screw to help it sink. Otherwise, you can tie some rocks to it withn mono filament or cotton thread.

Don't you know there's special aquarium driftwood trees?
