Hello,
I'm starting a new tank. It's 17"x19"x28" tall. I'd like a nice tall piece of driftwood for a centerpiece though I am considering leaving out the driftwood and trying to grow a Tiger Lotus as a centerpiece.
My problem is finding a suitable 24" to 28" piece. I can order them online, but you never know what you get ordering from a store as they promise a size range only. It's a couple hour drive to a really nice aquascaping store in Seattle, but I fear they would be really expensive and the wife is already having second thoughts about the cost of this adventure. I live along the National Forest in the Pacific Northwest and can find an abundant supply of water-logged driftwood 10 minutes from my house.
If I find a suitable piece without any visible critters on it is there any reason not to use it in my tropical aquascape? Are there any precautions?
I'd like to start planting next weekend and because of the size, boiling it in a pot isn't possible.
Thank you
