Soak or boil each piece before adding it to a tank: this waterlogs the wood so it sinks properly and cuts down the initial tannin release. Driftwood will still tint water amber for the first few weeks as tannins leach out; this is cosmetic, not harmful, and active carbon in the filter clears it if you'd rather keep the water clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a natural product, piece shape and colour are not covered under warranty — any fault on arrival (breakage, incorrect item) is covered under your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law.

The product photo shows a representative example, not the specific pieces you'll receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to soak it before use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoaking or boiling before use waterlogs the wood so it sinks properly and reduces the amount of tannin released once it's in the tank. Untreated driftwood can float for days to weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it discolour my water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, at first. Natural driftwood releases tannins that tint the water a light amber colour, particularly in the first few weeks. It's harmless and many aquarists like the look; if you'd rather keep the water clear, run activated carbon in your filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this suitable for a saltwater tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — driftwood isn't reef or marine safe. It releases tannins that lower pH, which most reef livestock doesn't tolerate, so it's intended for freshwater aquariums, terrariums and paludariums only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774342418723,"sku":"DRIFT02","price":412.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/bioscape-bioscape-aquarium-d-43876805443875.webp?v=1790239535","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-aquarium-driftwood-pieces-medium-ctn-of-25","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
