Additional Description

One of the hardest and densest woods available; sinks immediately in aquariums and unlike driftwood, will not rot! Aquariums All natural wood products leach tannins, which discolor water and reduce pH levels. To minimize this effect, soak wood in a separate container, and change water daily to remove excess tannins. When the water color goes from dark brown to a very light tea color (or clear), the wood is ready for your aquarium. Adding extra carbon to your aquarium filter can help to remove any remaining discoloration.
