Butters

Hey, I found two pieces of good looking driftwood today to put in my new tank. I rinsed them off using water from my outside hose to get some bugs and stuff off of them. Now I'm wondering what I should do...I dont really have anything big enough to boil them, so should I just let them soak for a while or what? thanks!

they really need to be boiled to kill anything on them...especially if you got them from outside and not a fish store...then soak them for at least 2 weeks... then id boil one more time...

I would think that since you don't have anything to boil them in, you could get a large rubbermaid type container to put it in, get as much water boiling on the stove as you can and then pour it over the wood in the container. If it were me, I would do this 2-3 times and then soak for a while (days-weeks) and then do the boiling thing again...

Soak them for ages! I've recently found some nice wood out in nature (In a river) and I'm soaking it for AGES. I'm putting them in the tank when they sink.

I agree with mrsmuffin.
