As to the java moss - no idea. As to the driftwood - you can boil and soak, yes, I've also heard of people baking the wood as well. As long as you sterilize it and the wood is dense enough that it will not rot too quickly when submerged, then you should be good.

I agree with the CO2 statement about them being a pain to get perfect, it took me like 3 weeks to find all the leaks and tune my recipe and whatnot lol. Like Gizmo said you can use any wood as drift wood as long as you thoroughly sterilize it by means of heat.
