!!!!!!!!!!! Driftwood Aquarium !!!!!!!!!!!!?

Ok so i have a large log in a bird cage with no birds in it any more and have broken off a piece (the wood is very old and extremely hard in the middle it is still red) and scrubbed it really hard and have put it in a bucket to soak and was wondering if this wood is going to work in an aquarium i am also going to boil it tomorrow for an hour then sock it again for about 2-3 weeks till i do my water change and have a red fin shark that im going to put in a small tank with the wood for at least 2 weeks. is this a good idea. do you have a better way of curing the wood ? plzzzzz reply

Sounds like you covered all your bases. Scrubbing, boiling, and soaking.

The only thing i would do next is sand it, you said that it broke off right? I would make sure that there isnt a sharp splinter that your shark can get hurt on.

Driftwood will lower your pH over time so just a heads up. Your red fin should be okay though because it wont be drastic and its only a little different.

You might actually need to weigh down the wood because even if its been soaking for 2-3 weeks it will still float. Ive heard stories of people having a piece of driftwood in their tank for a month and its still floating. But your wood might be different.
