Not suitable for reef or marine tanks — this piece is sold and rated for freshwater only. Not suitable if you need a tank to stay perfectly clear from day one; expect tannin tinting while the wood cures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all natural driftwood, these pieces float until they waterlog. Fully submerge them in a bucket or spare container and change the water every few days until they sink on their own and stop tinting it — thicker pieces can take weeks to fully waterlog. Boiling the wood first speeds this up and helps clear surface organic matter before it goes into the display tank. Weighing pieces down temporarily with rock or a wood anchor is the usual workaround while they're still soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural material, sold as pictured but not to an exact shape — Bioscape doesn't warrant colour, taper or grain, since no two pieces are alike, but you're covered against a mis-described or transit-damaged order under Australian Consumer Law.

Natural driftwood leaches tannins that tint the water tea-brown, most noticeably in the first weeks and fading as the wood cures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe to add straight into a shrimp tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak and rinse it first. Tannins themselves aren't harmful to shrimp, but adding uncured wood straight into an established tank can shift pH faster than a sensitive colony likes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs every piece the same shape?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it's natural wood, so length, taper and branching vary piece to piece within the 30–40 cm range. Photos are representative, not exact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it in a reptile terrarium instead?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, once it's fully soaked and dried out, the branch structure works as climbing and perching wood for a bioactive terrarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeachem Flourish Glue\u003c\/strong\u003e — ties moss or epiphytes onto the branches while they establish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeachem Prime\u003c\/strong\u003e — dechlorinates the water you use to soak and cure the wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeachem Algae Scraper\u003c\/strong\u003e — keeps the glass clear while tannins settle in the first weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluval Pro-Vac Gravel Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e — clears the bark fragments and fine debris that shed from new wood early on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774342025507,"sku":"VINE11","price":282.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/VINE11_1_b0ecbfac-4620-4300-9238-4ddf496e3053.jpg?v=1782869074","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-shrimp-wood-large-30-40cm-10-pieces","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
