yes. fully submerged in seperate tanks - no fish or anything else with it.
I got a planted drift wood from petco it was in their poly tank .
I actually got if for my sen to hide under as I hate fake plant in any setting, but it may have also have jump started my cycle and it won't hurt your water and the one i got did not even alter my water chem even a little, of course in my case it would have been nice to have lowered my pH or hardness a little bit...My tank water is still rock hard with a pH of 7.6.
I also have an Anacharis weed for my fish to hide in.my plants also help my nitrates stay low as I still haven't got portions down with frozen foods and I have managed to read near zero nitrates before a gravel vacume/wc.
The Anacharis even came with snails I have counted three.

petco wood is fine as long as there are no diseased fish in with it. like mentioned above...expensive.
I bought a couple pieces of mopani and malasian driftwood onsale there (6 dollars each) they were not large, just about 6 or 7 inches wide and 10 -12 inches long. I like them very much, sinking the first day and no white fungus. If not on sale or coupons from the weekly flyer then yes expensive.
Ya ebay i got two huge pieces and lots of blue slate rocks shipped for 50.00 You can save on shipping if you bundle everything from one person
i used 2 small pieces from petco while i had a small community tank. seemed to be just fine, as i had a clown pleco that loved the stuff. and some cherry barbs that were wuite nce looking.
