So...there I was walking along the river Thames and I came across some inspiration for a rescape...
Well...I think it's interesting! It's about a metre long, and of a decent girth. It is a piece if root, from what I can tell, rather than branch, but was washed up and loose. It has bark on it, and some moss - but non aquatic moss. A bit of bird poo...
My question is...should I use it, and if so, how do I make it "safe" for use in my planted community tank?
Or...should I just steer clear entirely?
My plan was to give it a thorough scrub with hot soapy water, some anti bac and a good rinse. I would also leave it for a week or two in a big container of old water from my water changes. If I could, I was going to try and simmer it in boiling water the best I can too.
Advice very welcome!
Many thanks
