Hello!
I am working on redoing some of my tanks and have this old piece of wood I got a long time ago. It used to be in my leopard gecko enclosure but I was wondering if it could go into an aquarium? I have been looking up if it’s safe or not but can’t seem to find any good info, here is a pic of it let me know what you think. I soaked and scrubbed it before these pictures so everything hanging off won’t come off.

adding driftwood is quite safe, just make sure that there are no sharp edges or other means of impalement.
be away the driftwood will leach tannins into the water which are slightly acidic and will also colour the water.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
