It's Not Just A Fish

Why are people so obsessed with sterilisation? Fish diseases can't live in wood, it's an aquarium, full of different bacteria already, not a baby's bottle.

Incidentally, the term bogwood is really not appropriate, it originally referred to wood that had been dug up from peat bogs where it had lain for thousands of years, preserved by the acidic conditions and lack of air under the peat. Already waterlogged, it sinks like a stone. You are highly unlikely to find true bogwood for sale these days.

I think azaleas are "acid loving" plants. I wonder if that's why some "bogwoods" can acidify water? I have two different types of "bogwood" in my tanks, but I never saw any change in pH.
