wood treatment

[beaver8888]

i bought some wood pieces off bigals do i have to do anything to them or did they already take care of everything?

I'd ask them that. I personnaly would soak em for a few days and see if there is still some tannis left in em.

im soaking some difftwood i got a couple of days back. best to b sure.

I put any driftwood in a pot, heat up the water to almost a boil, turn it off and let it soak. I change the water every once in a while to get rid of the tannin. The hot water kills whatever may be on it that would contaminate the tank. Never had any problem.

Yeah i'd ask if it's safe to use straight away, it should be. if they say they just found it off a back of a truck i can post info on how to "cure" it.

goodluck
