We had a beaver clogging up a pipe that runs between two coolwater ponds so we had to clear the debris out and I found a couple nice pieces of wood. I took them home and boiled them and have had them soaking in water for probably a week now, changing the water every so often. I'm not sure what the wood smells like, like pond, i guess. It stunk pretty bad when I was boiling it. Do you think it would be safe to add it to my tank(s) or not? I checked the ammonia and nitrites of the water and they were 0, but that probably won't really tell me anything, anyway. I'd rather not have to put it in the oven, but if you don't think it's safe now, do you think that will make it safe?
