driftwood I've heard using the kind for reptiles isn't safe for whatever reason. You would be ok to find some natural driftwood at a lake or something but you would need to boil or rinse with hot water, let dry in direct sunlight and seal it by brushing on clear laquer of some sort.

you can use rocks out of your yard or a stream or river as long as you use caution and use the vinegar trick and rinse/dry the rocks. I have 2 rocks in my tank that were dug up out of the yard (petrified wood).

If you put a small amount of vinegar on a rock and it doesn't start bubbling, the rock will not affect your ph. I also read that you should run hot water over a rock thoroughly and set it outside in direct sunlight to dry. That will kill any potentially harmful micro organisms.
