	Storing Driftwood
tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003	I took some malaysian driftwood out of my tank, because I put more live plants in. Do I need to do anything to it after I take it out as far as cleaning, storage,etc. I'd like to use it again in another tank. My Scapes

I'm afraid it may go bad if it were stored sealed up while it's still wet. You'll want to make sure it gets put in a clean sealed box or bag to prevent any chemicals ect from getting absorbed into it while in storage. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate,what creates my own madness... and I am waiting for disaster"
