Drift wood

[courtnee]

I bought a medium sized piece of driftwood since I have a pleco and will be setting up a 75gl tank soon. I plan to have a few pieces and this is the first one I have gotten.

I put it in my 55gl and figured it would be good to lay in there until I get my 75gl and let it collect bacteria.

Does driftwood hold a good amount of bacteria?

I plan to do much more then this.... hoping to run the filter on my 55gl for a few weeks before putting it on the 74gl to help seed it.

Bacteria will grow on any solid surface. I imagine driftwood will hold quite a bit.

good! Driftwood is hard to come by here but recently it is showing up. I am picky about the shape and so far only found one I like.

The fish store I know of only sell small pieces of driftwood untill I found www.aquariumdriftwood.com I've ordered 4pieces for my 90gallons two centerpieces and two misc and they look great! They are all the same shade of black/brown and even though they dont do pictures all the driftwood I got was unique and beautiful.
