Hello all
I have found a great piece of branch/root from the local wood and could do with a few pointers.
Its as dead as the dodo and I've cut it down to size & its dry to the core. The main branch has been hollowed out on one side by weather/bugs/rot & it was a bit flakey inside with a few woodlice but I've given it a hose & good scrub with a wire brush. The hollowed out side looks amazing & the bark on the other side it solid, smooth & intact.
But....I have no idea what tree it came from other than its not pine. So what do I do with it now? Should I soak it or seal it with pond sealant? My initial thought was sealant.
Any advice would be really appreciated as it would look great in the tank.
cheers
