I’ve been soaking found wood since October (2 1/2 months about) but I change water every 2 weeks with the first wash getting a tiny splash of bleach to sanitize but so that it will be cleaned away before being close fish. It hasn’t failed me yet but I’ve never tried boiling in the 2 years I’ve been using wood I find outdoors because this works for me

The way I did it for my big peices of wood for my 180 and 300 is go to theisens and get one of the big steel bucket feeders they sell.. They are roughly 23-25" around in a square shape, and use a turkey fryer burner to boil the bigger pieces! Works perfectly for these bigger pieces and much quicker than just letting them soak in water. Some of my bigger pieces would have taken a month+ to get water logged just soaking like this.

[@TAKIS6061]

Isn't necessary clean further the woods or boil them ?Afew days of soaking and everything is OK ?

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

TEFANET OE Should be ok - Most store bought wood is pretreated for any fungal/bacterial antibodies or parasites. This preparation is moreso for removing the tannins and soaking the wood so it won’t float. If you want to take the next step, follow the instructions in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKrJq3SnjciDp7M I used it on rocks but it can be applicable to wood.

Hey there I know this is a relatively old video but I’m kinda new to the hobby and just bought some wood from my local pet shop , I’ve boiled it as much as I can and the deep tannin colour is gone , I’m assuming it’s been baked prior to buying and I’ve been soaking it for about 3 hours but the colour has gone is it safe to add to my aquarium now or do I still need to let it soak ?

[@DenisGames2]

It should be safe after you boiled it. Tannin isn't actually dangerous for your fish tank. Really depends on if you like the colour that it gives to your tank.

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

Should be good to go!

[@Stargazer3131]

Use some activated carbon in you're tank after adding new driftwood, it helps to get rid of any remaining tannins, and remove/replace them during filter changes! 🙂🐟🐠

[@IamthatAmazing]

I unfortunately did not clean my wood I rinsed it and put it inside my tank now the wood made my whole tank Yellow 😩. Is it bad for my turtles? Should I change the water out? This wood is safe for tanks bought it at a serpentarium store.

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

You should be fine, just monitor your pH levels. Normal water changes over time will help bring the tannins level down and naturally go away in 6 months to maybe 2 years!

[@monicalongoria7363]

I got some cool pieces from a saltwater beach but I have a red ear slider in a 75 gallon fresh water tank (obvi) and they too big too boil. Will this method work? Any tips?

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

A piece from outdoors vs a piece purchased in a store, which has already been treated is veryyyy different. For a piece like that you have to watch out for the level of salt that leeched into the wood as well as some other bad things that may be in the wood. I would steer clear.

[@TCgirl]

I'm confused. I saw where you told someone on here that you wouldn't used driftwood they found at the beach even if they soak it. But the video says to just soak your driftwood a few days and its good to go? Maybe I missed something. I have some years old driftwood I've been saving but I don't know what I need to do with it now. Do I have to bleach it or no bleach or should I scrap the whole idea altogether?

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

Most store bought woods are baked or already treated to some degree. If you walk on a beach and bring home a piece of wood for your aquarium, chances are that that wood is loaded with bad bacteria. For something like that, you need to either boil it, use a bleach solution, or something! Just soaking it won’t do it.

[@barrncat]

I have a fair sized piece of aquarium wood that had been used as the base for a large rack of antlers. It has been soaking for over a week and I change the water every day. It still floats so I put a weight on it. I even have drilled a number of holes with a 9/16" bit. which will be a good hiding spot for the shrimp I wish to get Is there anything else I can do or should I just be patient?

[@879-07hjkmkl]

REALLY controversial opion, but if you have a really large tank (150+) you really dont have to purify it, just wash it clwan and leave it for a few weeks to let microorganisms die out. Thats what I have always done. Another factor is if it is small fish, dont so this with those cause they are sensitive, but it wont hurt large hardy fish. Same with rocks, as long as the rock is a nice kind with no bad minerals, just wash it clean and leave it in the sun for a few days.

Water changes will help clear up the water. The initial release of tannins is always the worst but after 1-3 months with weekly water changes it’ll get better and better.
