How long will it take to soaking to stop tannims form changing my water color

Answer by JuiceBoxerSep 10, 2023
1 to 2 weeks

One reviewer said this need to be detoxified before adding to tank; how is that done?

Answer by ChewyMar 05, 2021
If you can, boil your driftwood for at least an hour and let it cool. If your driftwood is too large to boil, submerge it in a bucket with a 5% Bleach solution for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse very well and let it soak in bleach-free water for at least a day to be sure that any remnants of the bleach have dissipated.

I bought this product and it did not sink and do I have to do anything to it before I put it in the tank if I don't want to

Answer by ChewyFeb 20, 2022
The Driftwood normally takes around 1 to 2 weeks to absorb enough water to weigh itself down. You can use other decor or bury the wood in the substrate to help hold it down for the meantime. It is recommend rinsing off and cleaning the wood before putting it in the tank so that any dust or foreign material is removed. We also recommend soaking it to remove natural tannins in the wood. The tannins do not harm anything but they will dye the water a tea color.

Does this driftwood already sink or does it need boiled to sink

Answer by ChewyJan 26, 2021
This Driftwood is suitable for freshwater and saltwater tanks and is sinkable for use underwater in aquariums.

Its wood!!

I got 2 and I immediately got them into a tank with mystery snails. They floated at first and within 4 days were all but fully sunken. The snails helped season it

Not sinkable

It states it is a sinkable piece of wood, but I have to have a rock sitting on top of it in order for it to sitat the bottom of my tank otherwise it just floats

Not close to what’s pictured

I know that this wasn’t going to match exactly what’s in the picture, but it’s not even close. There’s nothing interesting or unique about it. It’s just a plain

I know that this wasn’t going to match exactly what’s in the picture, but it’s not even close. There’s nothing interesting or unique about it. It’s just a plain chunk of wood. No branches off of it or anything. It also floats, so hoping it eventually will sink as advertised. Very disappointed

Was just a chunk of bark. Really wanted a peace for my granddaughter fish aquarium . Texted customers service for a dissent peace .Said that I had to print a label and go to FedEx don't have a printer or vehicle right now. Very unhappy with customer service. Frist time customer service was rude to a custome

Not what I expected

I guess I should have read the reviews before I spent $28 on a piece of wood for my snake enclosure. When I got the piece it did not look anything like the one advertised

I guess I should have read the reviews before I spent $28 on a piece of wood for my snake enclosure. When I got the piece it did not look anything like the one advertised and it’s SMALL. I ordered medium to large and it isn’t even close. Its lack luster and was not worth the money.
