Description
Feller Stone's Malaysian Driftwood makes for an excellent natural piece of dècor for both aquariums or terrariums. Malaysian Driftwood is notable for its handsome dark colour and its natural ability to sink to the bottom of water reservoirs without the risk of scratching the glass of your aquarium. Works as an excellent hiding or resting spot, providing pets with natural comfort. Each piece of driftwood is hand-selected, and sizes can vary from 25 to 33 cm in length.
Before adding driftwood to your aquarium, it is best practice to pre-soak the wood in a bucket (or another container large enough for the wood) filled with warm, dechlorinated tap water for 24-48 hours. This helps to remove the tannins from the driftwood, as well as make sure it is waterlogged. If after adding the wood to your aquarium, you find that it is turning the water yellow, you can use carbon in your filter to remove the tannins or repeat the pre-soaking process to remove more tannins before placing it back into the aquarium.
Natural driftwood may also, on occasion, develop a milky or fuzzy white bacterial film after being placed in the aquarium. This film is harmless and most fish or shrimp will make a quick snack of it.
