May I ask how long you boil your driftwood for? I have a piece of driftwood, but just soaking it did not make it tank ready. It is a great piece with tunneling, and a couple of holes for a plant or two. But tank got totally messed up. Thank you.

I boil it for about 10 minutes. Some people recomend longer. I find that cypress doesn't really release tannins after being boiled (it may not release them without boiling as well).

If you want, I'll ship to Canada, but I don't know how much it will cost. Yes, they are nice. I went to a wholesaler that collects them in the swamp. He had enough to fill the back of a tractor trailer. I grabbed what I wanted (the best I think), and the rest went all up and down the eastern seaboard to taxidermy shops.
