Driftwood

I have a tank that has just cycled 500gal
I was wondering if I could put driftwood in without causing problems

Shouldn’t cause any problems as long as it’s tank safe wood and has been properly washed before. May leach tannins for a while but in a 500gal tank that shouldn’t be noticeable.

Yes you can. Are you sure its aquarium safe? Did you boil it first?

As others have said, you are good to go. As long as it’s clean you can add it anytime. Post up some pictures in the members tank section if you haven’t already, 500 gallons is a huge tank

I will post pic as soon as I get the driftwood in the tank
and some live plants.
I have been out of the trade for ten years looking forward to getting back in to the hobby
thanks for the info

I’m in the same boat, getting back in the hobby after a long break. Although, on a slightly smaller scale lol
