One reviewer said this need to be detoxified before adding to tank; how is that done?
Answer by • Mar 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.
Is it possible to see the driftwood shapes/twists etc before purchase? Or are all of them as close to the pictures?
Answer by • Jan 23, 2021
Due to the nature of this product, the shape will vary in each batch.
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 • Feb 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.
Will it harm my fish if I just put the wood in my aquarium without doing anything to the wood?
Answer by • Feb 20, 2022
it is recommend rinsing off and soaking the wood. During transport, and while sitting in storage, the wood may have gotten dust particles and other material on it. Cleaning it beforehand will greatly lessen the chance that there are problems when introducing it to the tank.
