HELP PLEASE,
i bought a piece of pre treated bogwood, wen i got home i stuck it in a pan and boiled it for 2 hours or more just to be on safe side alot of tannin came out, but in some places on the wood now there is really nice redish colours ozzing out which i am thrilled about,however i have placed it in a 5 gallon container of water now to remove more of the tannins, it as sunk straight away so it's definatley bogwood, but i was wondering how long should i leave it in soak for ? seen as ive boiled it prior to being submerged in de-chlorinated water,should i leave it in same water or should i change water periodically and do this till water stays clear ?,and wot sort of time limit am i looking at before it can go into aquarium.
