Hi peeps.
I recently went up to the mountains of Virginia, and in a mountain stream, discovered some nice logs that I felt would be nice additions to my tanks. However, I do not know the exact protocol on the safemaking of logs. I know that you should boil/sun them for a few hours, but is that to get rid of the tannins, or to get rid of the bacteria, or to get rid of the bad wood?
