Hi Guys, I've some spare driftwood/bogwood lying around and was thinking if I can create a "shoreline" sorta setup with them... but I'm just wondering how salt will affect the driftwood/bogwood... any advice/suggestions welcome ;)

Make sure it's treated. As in, it has soaked in seawater long enough. If not soon enough your seawater will be brown due to tannins leaching from the wood. Might make your water acidic too. :peace:

Always something more important than fish.
