Ok, a new 5G hex tank, I want to make it look nice, planted tank, 6500K CF light..bla bla bla...
Anyways, I got a great looking tree branch that I know has been dead for some time, all dried up.. Looks to have stayed fairly dry. I've inspected it for bugs and do to it's location I'm sure no chemicals have gotten on it past what will fall from the sky. SO.... How long do I need to boil this stick for before I can safely put it in my tank, or would I be best to go and pay for a stick at the LFS. Sorry but it just seems silly to me to pay for something I can get off the ground.
The wood looks like oak or maple Deffently one of them trees with HUGE leafs and hard wood this thing was hard to cut down to size.
