Driftwood (Large) - IN STORE PICK UP ONLY

Recreate the look of natural habitats with real Driftwood. Ruggedly beautiful driftwood is an indispensable addition to freshwater aquarium landscape. Use versatile Driftwood to add visual interest, increase architectural structure, or to provide shelter and cover for aquarium inhabitants. Create the ideal daytime location for nocturnal catfish species. Also great for freshwater planted aquariums as an attachment site for Java Moss, Anubias, and other plants for a truly nature-inspired aquarium.

To avoid discoloring your water, soak your driftwood for as long as possible before placement. Total submersion for 1-2 weeks is recommended, since the tannic acids take that long to completely leach out of the dense wood. Boiling your driftwood in a large stock pot for 1-2 hours prior to soaking may help shorten the required cure time down to 48-72 hours. Only use dechlorinated or RO water, and scrub the wood with an algae brush to remove excess dirt.

Monitor your soaking driftwood throughout the week, watching as the water darkens, and refresh the soak water every other day or so, until you no longer notice any discoloration for several days in a row. The driftwood is then ready for placement.
