bradleyheathhays Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I've used this wood before in a previous freshwater setup, but it's been outside (not on the ground) being rained on and in damp conditions for a while now and I need to sterilize it before putting the pieces back in the tank again. These pieces are too big to get into a pot to boil so I was wondering if I could sterilize them by heating in the oven. I don't use the oven much so it wouldn't be a problem leaving them in for an extended period of time if that's what it takes. Thanks for the advice.

aquaholic99 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Why do you need to sterilise it? You can leave it out on the strong sun for a day, turn over occasionally. The UV strength is deadly. johnbetta, bradleyheathhays and JB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
