Hello,
I'm really new to fishkeeping--am fishless cycling my first 55 gallon freshwater tank. Want to plant it, and like natural decorations. I collected driftwood at Old Orchard Beach Maine a few weeks ago. Boiled it all for 40 minutes or so, and now it's just sitting out on my frozen deck while I decide what to do with it. I don't know what kind of wood this is, and don't want to do anything that would jeapordize my tank...but would love to use it if possible. Is there anything else I should do to treat it? Any risks I'm taking by using it? Thanks so much for your advice!
