anything collected from the wild(wood, plants, ect.) has a risk of carrying pests. when i use decoration i've collected i usually microwave it rather than baking in the oven. i mean to bake it and it to be effective you must heat the wood to what 200 degrees and all the way through? or else it'll end up kinda like that bad thanksgiving dinner when the turkey is still frozen in the center. with plants being bought, i've bought plants from online and my local nursery and have never had a pest problem. use common sense and find a nice, well lit and clean nursery to buy from. any plants with a dead leaf or some kind of damage i would stay away from them, don't know what caused it. my online dealer is customecos.com, well their called custom ecos. do a yahoo search for it. you will also haveto upgrade on your lighting i'm sure. ahsupply.com has great light kits and conversion kits for standard aquarium hoods. i did the dual 10 gal hood kit and its great, promotes lots of growth. hope this helps.
