okay I know the title sounds really funny but it was bulk pickup in my in-laws neighborhood today and I came across a tank with broken panes and a rather large piece of driftwood to be tossed out. My question..I cant tell if it was used in a fish tank or a reptile tank. Would it still be suitable as driftwood in a tropical tank. Also it looks like there was a square pile of tile attached to the bottom of the wood, but the 2 of the screws holding it on fell out. Should I be worried that this wood might be rotten?

I noticed when I soaked the piece, It floated right to the top of the container I was using. I will wait till the morning to let you know if it finally did soak.

thank you
John B.
