I've been soaking a piece of driftwood for over a month now. It still leaks tannins, but that's not really my problem. It also sinks now, which is cool, because at first I basically had to tie it to an anvil to keep it down.
My problem is with all the sediment coming off of it in the soaking pot. When I take out the wood to take a close look at it, I can scrape my nail accross it and get a lot of gunk or wet wood off of it. I'm wondering if you figure there's a way to solve this (steel wool or something?), or if this piece of wood is a dud. Or, should I just stick it in my tank and get that stuff out on water changes until it stops?
TIA
