Hello Fellow Fish Fans & Friends 
Well- I was doing a little reading into a book someone gave me "Aquariums for Dummies" (which I would have to say I am not
) but anyhoo came across something I needed to confirm is good or not good to do.
It says that you can "safely seal" any piece of wood & examples are that you cannot get all the tannis out of -or- a piece you are not sure is "safe" for the water...
by doing 3 coats of polyurethane varnish applied to wood & letting each coat dry between coats." The varnish keeps wood from releasing any products that can affect your water conditions."
If this IS possible to do then I would assume at least a 2 day soak in water in a bucket 1st before putting into the tank again?
