keep it clean...haha:lol:

got my new tank today,cayman 60 pro
nice size,75 liters/20 gal.
ive got a very large forest near me and my boy has collected lots off nice bits off wood,
all shapes and sizes for the new tank.
thing is can i use it?
don,t know wot type of wood,all sorts.
is it just a case of boiling it,etc and then add it or is it not a good idea to use it?

My advice is do no use green wood
Despite the cost bogwood from a LFS is the only safe bet for me .

Other members may have a method of "Curing" Green wood.

need to know what kind of wood it is really.
oak and beech are fine, others like pine are a real no no.
