It's self-sinking, so weighing it down isn't normally necessary. Because of its size, plan the layout and check it clears any overflow, filter intake or heater mounting before filling — a piece this large can block flow if it's wedged in the wrong spot. Tannin release will tint the water amber; run fresh carbon in the filter for a few weeks if you'd rather keep the water clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoss and Anubias, both of which attach directly to driftwood rather than needing substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquascaping wire or cotton thread, for tying epiphytic plants onto the branch structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter carbon, to manage how strong the tannin tint develops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural material — shape, colour and grain vary piece to piece, and the photo is representative rather than the exact item.
