Tina N asked:


I bought some drift wood at the lps the other day and I’ve been soaking it for days now. It’s still floating. Did I just buy the wrong kind? I know some types never get water logged and will always float. It didn’t say what kind it was but could it be cedar? It kinda smells like cedar- but just faintly? Anyway, how long do you usually have to soak drift wood before it becomes water logged and will sink?

I have made a home for yabbies/crayfish to live in from wood. But i dont know if i should put it in. Could the yabbies/ crayfish die from me putting in the wood.

What do i do, does anyone know how to make it safe if there is a problem. I found it in the wood pile at home. It had been bought from a timber place dew to it was cut as a plank.

Silver asked:


I would like to put a piece of wood in one of my fish tanks, with an Oscar in it. I am planning on getting the wood from my backyard, because I have heard of people doing it before and the outcome is beautiful. But, I also know how the wood will turn the water a gross murky brown and I am a clean water fanatic. I know that you can keep the wood from doing that, but I don’t know how. So… do any of you?
