Usage
- Rinse the wood with water before use to remove any dust or debris.
- Most woods are buoyant and need to be soaked for approximately one month to become waterlogged and sink. During the initial setup, use rocks, anchors, wood tight, or other methods to temporarily submerge the wood until it becomes fully waterlogged.
- Woods may release tannins during the initial setup, giving the water a cognac-like appearance, similar to natural rivers like the Amazon. Tannins are not harmful to aquarium inhabitants but can be controlled through frequent water changes.
- To minimize tannins during the initial phase, you can boil the wood for a few hours or submerge it in water for one month before adding it to your aquarium.
- Saprolegnia, a white fungus-like growth, may appear on the wood during the initial stage. If it occurs, scrape and suction it out with a small tube frequently. It should naturally disappear within a month after the initial setup.
- Woods may cause a decrease in the pH level of the water. It is recommended to maintain a minimum kH of 3 to create a buffer effect and regularly monitor the pH level.
By following these usage directions, you can ensure a safe and healthy environment for your aquarium, paludarium, or terrarium inhabitants while enjoying the natural beauty that wood provides.
