A friend has a large log of box elder wood. He wants to cut it up and use it in his fish tank. Good idea?
 
No! Box Elder is a type of maple. It will contain lots of sappy resins, and the would disintegrates quite rapidly.
 
Ok thank you!! we couldn't find any websites with info on it. I know it can be bad to some amphibians and what not but nothing about fish.
