Tips for sterilizing Aquarium Driftwood
If you find a piece of wood on dry ground or cut it from a tree and
let it season it is most likely safe from disease or other harmful
pathogens. But many aquarium owners like to treat it anyway just to
be safe. That is a decision you will have to make. If you found the
wood in a body of water, especially a stagnant pond, you will
probably want to treat it. If you find the wood in a clear stream
it is probably more safe.
Wood should first
be scrubbed clean to remove dirt and debris. It is usually best to
remove the bark since it may start to decay and fall apart once in
your aquarium. Bark can also contain and release more tannin into
the water than the wood will. Remove any moss or lichen since it
may be toxic to fish.
One way to sterilize the wood is to heat treat it. You can boil the
wood in water for a couple hours, some say up to 8 hours, while
others may only boil it for *0 minutes or less. For larger pieces
of wood, the extended boiling times are to make sure the wood is
heated all the way through.
You can also heat treat the wood by placing it in the oven and
baking it. You will just have to be careful to not allow it to get
hot enough to catch fire. I would suggest not getting the wood much
over **0 degrees Fahrenheit or much over boiling temperature, both
for fire safety and to keep from harming the wood. If the wood is
wet you may not want to use the oven since the wood may vent a lot
of steam if you get it too hot. The heat will also dry the wood
out, which may mean more work for you in re-saturating the wood so
it will sink later.
Sometimes an easier way to sterilize aquarium driftwood is to soak
it in a bleach solution. Make a solution of about one cup of bleach
for 5 gallons of water and soak the wood for 3 or 4 days. Then soak
the wood in fresh water for 4 or 5 days, changing the water every
other day. Just make sure all the bleach is gone before placing the
wood in your aquarium. At this point you may want to continue
soaking to reduce the tannin in the wood.
