I went to the beach and as usual came home with bags of driftwood, this is a particularly nice piece just screaming to be used in a river set-up.
The treatment of the wood will start with a long period (months) of soaking outdoors to get rid of any excess bark and other nasties, after that any left over bark is easy enough to peel off. The wood is then dried and then boiled. The first tank with fish it goes into holds a number of Ancistrus which happily feed on the exterior and in doing so create a very nice smooth surface.
That's nice one man
