Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have gotten conflicting advise on whether or not cedar is suitable for a freshwater aquarium. I did just read the article here and it mentioned that cedar does makes good driftwood.
I had gotten a very nice piece a while ago. It had been used as an outdoor decoration for years. It was beautifully sun-bleached. At the time I didn't know what type of wood it was and when I cut some off to fit my aquarium I realized it was cedar. The cedar aroma from cutting it was extremely pungent!
Now, is this really safe for my tank? Is there some prepping I should do? Right now I just have it sitting outside. But, I would really like to use it.
I would really appreciate some input on this! Thanks!!
