Preparation & Care
Driftwood is a natural product and requires a bit of prep before it’s ready for prime time.
Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the piece to remove any dust or debris from transit.
The Floating Phase: Depending on the density of the specific piece, Madra Wood may be buoyant initially. To keep your hardscape from floating away, we recommend weighing it down with a stone or soaking it until it is fully waterlogged.
Tannin Management: Like most aquarium driftwood, this will release tannins, giving your water a warm, “tea-colored” tint. This is a natural occurrence, and the effects will subside over time. If you prefer crystal-clear water, a 1–2 hour boil is the best way to fast-track the process. You can also reduce this effect through consistent water changes or through the addition of Aquario Neo Carbon Bag
Important note: We recommend rinsing wood thoroughly before adding it to an established aquarium. If you prefer, you may also boil the wood for at least 1-2 hours to help release tannins.
