I don’t know the species of wood, and did not treat it. If you have the pots for it, I would recommend boiling the wood just to get tannins out…but I haven’t personally had any bad experiences with wood that I get from aquascaping shops. I would be cautious about picking up wood from the ground if you’re planning to do that.
Ah yeah, that’s more my concern. I’m in an area where driftwood and the like of naturally washed up. It might be worth just getting something from a shop to avoid any issues. Thank you for your insight!
Edit: thank you!
