This is not really plant-related, but its in preparing to put in plants. I
have a couple of small driftwood pieces, and my brother has found a very
nice, long piece of lighter wood (fat lighter) the type that is used to
start fires. It is very attractive, and he says it would be fine in my
tank. But I'm concerned that it may have chemicals in it which would leech
into the water.

Does anyone know?

thanks,
