Thanks in advance!

wood choice for indoor pond...
- Thread starter arowfan
- Start date
if not treated i would stain it... there will be alot of moisture in the room not to mention any splashes depending on how far down from the top the water level is and what you have for fish.
I would use untreated and stain/seal myself. Untreated lumber is dried and usually straighter because of this. Pressure, Green, MCA, ACQ Treated is still wet when the manufacturing process is over. It does not go into a kiln unless a certain moisture content is needed. if you can find Fire Treated lumber, that is baiscally green treated lumber a too. Fire Treated lumber has a .25 retention which is basically rot resistant and it is dry.
I think I'm going untreated, then sealing it myself. thanks guys!!! I'm going to make a post on the pond progress when I get a chance...its going to be a 8x4x3.
