It's a small peice with an Anubias attached to it.

I don't want to use bleach since with water restrictions and all, I can't go nuts with rinsing it endlessly -_-

so far it's been soaking in about 4 litres of water for about an hour, how long should I soak it for if I can't use any chemicals?

I wouldnt suggest it with the plant attched. Could you post some closeups of the Nana on the DW and the nana in your tank? That would be awesome

Thanks for your input as always, Shane

I assume you want to get the tannins out of the wood....right?
If so, unless your aquarium is tiny, one of those bits anubias is atached to won't emit enough tannins to change water colour.

If you bought the driftwood with the ambius on it and the LFS had it all ready in water it can realy go straight into your tank. But if you bought the drift wood dry and then put the ambius on then 1 week at the min. The drift wood i have found will keep leaving tan. But a good way to get it out of the water is regular water changes and a carbon pad they help loads i find
