all right! thank u guys! i bought 3 piece of used dw from my lfs for 9.99$
i asked the owner if i can buy the dw's in their tanks so i wont have to wash and boil them.
not only i got what i wanted, i also got it 50% cheaper.
awesome get some pics. i dont think the bogwood would necessarily cause a spike, just act as a natural buffer (depending on current pH). never had fish die from adding bogwood
