Important information

Directions

Size: 10-12" A beautiful two color African hardwood for aquariums or terrariums. Smooth surface, textured detail, and unique mottled color adds interest and enrichment to habitats. Use with plants to create the "naturalistic" look. One of the hardest and densest woods available; sinks immediately in aquariums and unlike driftwood, will not rot! Additional Information: 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. Adding extra carbon to your aquarium filter can help remove any remaining discoloration.

I recently bought some live plants for my aquarium and had read they would grow much better rooted to driftwood than they would just stuck in cheap gravel substrate. I knew it would be a few days before I could make it up to the pet store, so I went ahead and ordered a piece of this driftwood instead. It came quickly and has done it's job well, but there are definitely a few things worth noting...First off, you're definitely playing the driftwood lottery by ordering a piece of unique driftwood you cannot see before purchasing. Anyone who buys this should anticipate that! In all honesty, I only have a 5 gallon tank, so my fingers were actually crossed that I really did get a "small, boring" piece of wood like so many people had complained about. Instead, I got a piece of wood that runs right at about 10.75 inches in length. It's larger than i wanted, but still fits in my tank comfortably at least.Second, this wood absolutely DOES leech tannins. Given the size of the piece of wood I received, I boiled mine for about 10 hours (changing the water approximately every hour). The boiling was done over the course of two days and between the two days, I soaked the wood for about 16 hours and changed the water three times. The very final time I boiled the wood, it was still leeching tannins, but was a huge improvement over the original few boilings. Following that, I put it straight into my tank and have not seen any leeching. Although I believe the wood is probably still leeching a small amount of tannins, my small carbon filter seems to be taking care of all of it.Third, even if the tannins don't bother you, I still suggest boiling this wood at least once, for an hour or so. This is because the very first time I boiled mine, the water was extremely murky and bubbly muck collected at the top of my pot. I believe it was a combination of bacteria and sap, as the sticky brown substance never came off of the spoon I had poked my wood with during that first boil. RIP Spoon, RIP!Finally... My piece of wood did not sink. Not even a little. I actually soaked it for 4-5 hours prior to that first boiling, but it wasn't until the boil that it actually started sinking. Thankfully, I never had a problem with it after that. It's quite waterlogged now!Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but next time I'll probably head to store to pick out a piece so it'll be a little less random.

I bought this to display my air plants and found the shape to be perfectly dimensional, with many divots to house the plants. The "small" piece I received is roughly 10" in length x 4" in height. A very artistic piece that appears crafted by hand, not nature! I am extremely happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for MY needs in a 55g
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012
Was a little skeptical about getting natural wood online without having any idea of what I'd be getting. Took the gamble and glad I did. I ordered the medium and it was very natural looking and "stumpy". (added customer images above). It was about 10" long by 8" high kind of formed like a square. Lots of unique knots and crevices. I got this for a 55 gallon turtle tank and am trying to have many different types of environments so this is compact enough to stay in it's own area.

Definitely boil it. This think leaked a ton of tannins on the first boil and stained a ring around the top of the water line. I'm guessing it's tannins and some burned wood bits? It's not just discolored there's a good layer of something on it. But was using a pot I take camping anyway. Probably still good for using for food though. Just don't use Mom's/wife's/girlfriend's favorite pot and you should be fine.

Haven't set it up yet but have it soaking some more in water in an extra trash bin I have.

If you're looking to just drop this into your aquarium--don't.

In sum, this thing looks great though we all want that twisted knotted look as it's shown in the picture that may not happen. For me at least I'm glad what I got and it looks great. And for under 10 and with free shipping...you just can't go wrong. Take this gamble!

I was hesitant to buy a piece of wood online as I was afraid I’d get just a small flat piece of wood. The piece I got is not only beautiful but it is the perfect size. I have put mine in a terrarium with my air plants and I couldn’t be more pleased. It has holes through it that make it perfect to arrange my plants. Would look great in an aquarium as well.
