Good to know
Before it goes in the tank
A little prep saves cloudy water and floating wood.
-
01
Soak it first
Soaking helps it sink and releases some of the tannins.
-
02
Tea-coloured water is normal
Tannins are harmless and fade with water changes.
-
03
White fuzz is normal
A harmless film can appear early on and goes away by itself.

Common questions
Before you choose.
Why is my driftwood floating?
Dry wood holds air. Soak it for a few days, or weigh it down with rock until it sinks.
Why has my water turned brown?
Tannins from the wood. They are harmless and fade with water changes and carbon in the filter.
Can I attach plants to driftwood?
Yes. Tie or glue mosses, ferns and anubias on. Do not bury their rhizomes.
