how to properly disinfect cork round and mopani wood?
hi all, i’m finally getting my 4x2x2 tank decorated today and i’m not exactly sure how to sanitize/disinfect the cork round and mopani wood i got at petco.
for all the fake plants and hides, i just washed them with dawn and rinsed them extremely well. for wood, i’ve seen people recommend baking, boiling, boiling AND baking, and using f10 cleaner. i don’t think we have any pots big enough to boil the mopani, so boiling might be out of the picture.
would just baking be good enough to ensure both the mopani and cork round are safe? and if so, how long should i bake them and at what temperature?
thanks in advance!!
