I usually wait till the water is like dark tea before I change the water.
Then add more boiling water. It's best to use those heavy duty pails, they're called drums.


For a longer but more effective method:
(The days for soaking and sunning depends on you)

1. Boilling water soaking (3 days)
2. Sun dry (2 days)
3. Boiling water soaking (3 days)
4. Complete sun dry (2 days)
5. Boiling water soak (4 days)

This hardens the driftwood. It takes a long time though. But after the leaching process is over, the wood will never discolour the water in your tank.




I'm having problem with very large driftwood, the dimensions roughly 1 ft x 1.5 ft. I don't have a container or drum large enough to soak it in.

Anyone know how to leach it?

i harden my rotten bogwood using smoke.

cant you just campak the 1ft DW into a pond or sumthing...?

Hahhahahahah! How to campak it into the pond?

How do you smoke your driftwood? Is it like sate? Make a charcoal fire and place it over the smoke?

Oh yeah, what types of plants do you recommand for low lighting, and attached to rocks or driftwood?
Can I simply get normal seaweed type plants (I think it's cambomba, not sure about this) and tie them to the rocks or the driftwood?
