Dmaged Bogwood In Tank.....

[Alverez]

ive been soaking some wood for my tank, so far its been soaked in boiling water at least 10 times, and still the water is turning brown, well, my wife decided that last night after her bath she would put the wood in to soak it, she thought she was doing the right thing, but my concern is will the soaps she used have soaked into the wood and is that potentially dangerous, has she ruined the wood ?


or can i just soak it a few more times with boiling water to remove the best part of what has been absorbed by the wood ?

yeah that was a bad idea.......

the soaps and stuff can seep into the wood and then into the water when you put it in the tank.

it may come up with the rest of your soaking, you could also try boiling it.

As i suspected, ill have to soak it for ever now, lol


i may well just do that , but instead of forever, something like another 10 times , seeing as the water she used wasnt boiling, in fact just a bit more than warm.............
