Aquarium Advice Apprentice
A friend of mine just gave me two nice pieces of driftwood. They were sitting outside in her garden and she said her son once used them for his fish tank. I was wondering if I should boil them in order to get rid of any parasites or actual bugs that I can see living inside of them.... She also gave me a whole bunch of shells and rocks too, so I was also wondering if boiling would be the answer to that also. Also, my brother just got back from Florida with a whole bunch of shells off the beach and I'm wondering if boiling would be the answer to that too..... lol I'm sorry for saying boiling so much but I can remember reading somewhere about how someone was ranting about how its better to boil things you put into your tank rather than treating them with chemicals.
Oh and if I do need to boil them, how long? From what I can remember reading, I thought they were saying something like letting them soak in Aquasafe or something to treat the chlorine after.
