Hi there, I've picked some driftwood from a local pond, and I'd like to add them to my aquarium. What do I need to do in order to prep them? I dont want them to contaminate my aquarium. Besides what do I have to do to make them sink? Thanks. Happy 4th ....and Forza Italia!!!!

Wow!! I read that you could have one-inch-fish/gallon. My tank is only ten gallons. So I think, I'm going to have to forget about getting anymore fish. I'm hooked with this stuff, I'm going to get a bigger tank and make that tropical. Thanks to everybody for your responses.
