Oak And Beech

[BackToTheFishes]

I've read that oak and beech branches are safe for aquarium use "fresh".
Anyone have any experience of using them?

Yes there are safe, but first make sure you have what you think is, second it has to be old stuff,not cut straight from the tree and put in tank, i had a massive branch in my tank which was four and a half feet in length and very think, looked nice, it came of my mums oak tree two years ago, we put it behind shed out of the way, i got a wire brush, removed all bark, scrubbed and sanded, then fill bath will baking hot water, scrubbed again and again, repeated about five times.
Then soaked it in the bath for a week, as all it would do was float,as i never use the bath it wasn't a problem,
Also a lot of channa breeder's, collect oak leaves, around this time of year, dry them out, then use them in the tanks to help lower and change water quality, a lot swear by this method,
