Wish I had one! My version of 'pressure washer' involves something to pry bark and dirt off, a scrubby brush and a garden hose, lol.
If MsJinkzd has one, I'll use it when I drag the wood down.
 
Wow, those are seriously awesome pieces! They look great positioned up in the back of a tank, like tree roots coming down to a riverbank.

I'll be waiting until the weather warms up a bit more to go a'foraging. This has been a bad season for my arthritis. =(
 
So I have a few questions when it comes to collecting driftwood. How do you go about knowing if the wood is safe for the home aquarium? How do you know if the wood isnt gunna just disintegrate in a few months in a tank as well? I have never collected driftwood before so and tips and advice would be awesome thanks for sharing the pics and lighting the fires under some butts to go out and enjoy some nature!
