I'm vacationing in the Clear Lake, Ca area and would like to pick up some driftwood for my 20 Gallon while I'm here since I'm a broke high school student but want a nice piece of driftwood in my tank. But I have a few questions.
1. According to Clear Lake's wikipedia page the area has high mercury levels, does this make the Driftwood unusable?
2. How can I tell what wood is usuable and what's not? How can I tell what's hardwood?
3. I understand to soak the wood and boil it but what dangers does finding driftwood present?
Thank you for any help!
