Howdy, ladies and fellas.
I went out in the woods with a friend and found a downed hardwood (I think it's a beech) that had pulled up some of its roots. He said it had been down for a few years. So I snipped/sawed off some of the best looking roots and one that was already a little rotted/soft. They have been in a bleach & water solution (1 cup to 1 gallon, respectively) for a few days and I intend to leave them for another few before I rinse them and leave them to soak/sink in straight tap water with maybe another rinse in there too.
Do you think I'm going to unleash some bacteria or toxin into my tank anyway? I heard some woods were bad no matter what.
Thanks for your thoughts!
