I wouldn't use bleach around aquarium at all. Once, a few years ago, I
bleached some african driftwood and after quite a bit of rinsing I put it
back in the aquarium again. Some time later, my fish started dying. I
removed the driftwood, soaked it in water for weeks, then put it away. About
two years later I decided to put the driftwood back in again, and the same
thing started happening again.
Now the driftwood is gone and I have no more problems. Knock on wood.

Anyone have experience collecting wild driftwood?
What processing steps do you need to take? Boiling
with salt, disinfecting etc. Is this a dangeroius proposition?
Bought Store driftwood is bloody expensive.
