I found this cool piece of maple wood on this tree i removed i was wondering if i could place it in my tank without it messing anything up? I was going to soak it for a couple of weeks in a bucket to clean it up a bit. Would it be ok?

Boil it/Bleach it
There could be some undesired critters or microbes on the wood which you can't see. Best way is to nuke the entire wood.

all you need is just boil it, bleaching it will washed out the color of the wood, is the wood sinking?
just got it. Not sure but i think it will float until it soaks awhile. If so i will just put weights on the bottom. Can't wait to add it
I wouldn't trust it. I learned the hard way just get wood made for aquarium use. I lost an expensive L-25 pleco this way.
