Do you need tips as far as picking your driftwood, or tips on how to actually get the driftwood ready to be put in the tank?

Ok if the piece fits in a pot, then boil water with the driftwood in it to kill any parasites that could be on the wood. If its bigger, you can put it in your bathtub and just use the hottest water possible. But since the driftwood leeches tannins (basically makes your water color brown, like a tea color), if the brown water stays too long in the tub, it could possibly stain it. You can also put it into a clean bucket, and fill it with hot water and put the wood in there.
