Driftwood is, well, driftwood. IMO, it doesn't matter where it comes from, so long as you give it a good, long soak (a month or so) in advance.

the reason why most driftwood comes from malaysia is because they have so damn much of it seriously though, i work with a lot of malaysians and they said they have so much wood floating around that people don't always know what to do with it. if you can fit it in a pot then boil it for a few minutes, otherwise you can also bake it in the oven or pour boiling water on it in the bathtub.

Just boil it & leave it to soak for a few days, change water daily & when it nearly stops leaching out any Tanning, it's ready for your tank. :88)
