Tank Decoration

["Scott Olson" <olson7@hotmail.com>]

I'm about to set up a 55 gal show tank in the family room.  I want it to 
look as natural as possible, and want to include some wood.  I've always 
been impressed with (and envious of) the grape wood that pet stores always 
have for sale for vivariums.  It's wonderfully contorted and very 
attractive.

The question is:  Is the stuff safe in the aquarium?  Has anyone used this 
wood in your tanks, or been warned not to?

I'm leery because I once nearly killed some fish by putting the wrong kind 
of wood in the tank.  Fortunately, a large water change and removal of the 
offending wood brought them back quickly.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Scott
