What wood do you guys use in your tanks? if any.
bog wood/mopani/driftwood?
have any of you ever used a nice branch from a tree?
if so, what kind, pictures would be great.

oak is ok as long as its been cut and left for about a year to "season" then power washed and boiled then pre soaked......look in the "white tigers" thread in the pics section

hi....i got a fresh water lake by me and always wonderd if i can use the tree branch that was in the water?????? if you take it home and clean it properly i spose it could be ok as its been well soaked in the water but have been told by my local fish shop it would rot in the tank and turn my water all bad ??????????????????????? so i havent tried it yet LOL to scared just incase it does bad things to my water LOL

if the tree has been in the lake for an extended period of time and is properly weathered all you should need to do is to clean it, boil it, and submerge it for about a week or so to remove any tanins that might be left in the wood. after that it should be fine to put into your tank.

also as bgh has pointed out the wood you choose should be hardwood. oak maple ect.. make the best driftwood.
