Lake driftwood

[manning7987]

I have some driftwood that's been in direct sunlight for about 7 months. Can I put this in my fish tank? There are some large pieces.

Just tip boiling water over them and give them abit of a scrub and they should be alright, if they do leak tannins into the tank u can easy remove it with filter carbon

I get my driftwood from local lakes and I boil them in water and a little bit of peroxide for about 20 min then boil again with just clean water for another 20 min then set to cool. After that and a little scrubbing it should be great.
