Re: Can I put wood in the tank ?

I too have a piece that I collected myself, drilled holes in it, melted lead
and poured into it, soaked, baked, bleached, soaked for 3 more weeks,
washed, soaked, baked again.... and it STILL leaches.... and lowers the pH
tremendously.... good bad, doesn't bother the fish.... only the kH and pH
