How to prepare driftwood for shrimp tank

[Beginner]

Hi experts,

I would really appreciate your kind advise as i am just starting my 1ft shrimp tank (low tech tank for cherry/sakura/fire red shrimps).

I have a piece of driftwood in my planted tank that I would like to transfer to the new shrimp tank. This driftwood has been in the planted tank for about 3months.

I dose Easy Life Profito weekly to my planted tank which contains copper among other minerals.

What should I do to treat this driftwood to make it "shrimp" safe?

Thanks in advace.

thats tricky, the copper may be absorb by the plants already...
i will opt to use active carbon
but you can be kiasu and use bleach & boil
to prepare the DW.

The previous plants had been removed and I intend to tie some java moss to it.
I am not comfortable to use bleach.
Will pouring and submerging in boiling water do?
Thanks.

I rather you buy a new wood and boil if ur kiasu because the wood most likely absorb the copper already. Play safe get a new wood boil it

Hmm... I am also incline towards this option.
Most probably will get a lava rock instead and tie the java moss to it.

Thanks.

Just gotten a mid size java rock from c328. But the java moss is pretty expensive at $2 a tiny bag.
Anyone has lobang for reasonable priced java moss?

Thanks in advance!
