Not suitable for reef or marine tanks — this piece is sold and rated for freshwater only. Not suitable if the tank needs to stay perfectly clear immediately; 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. Submerge the batch in a bucket or tub and change the water every few days until each piece sinks on its own and stops tinting it — with twenty pieces, stagger the soak if you don't have a container large enough for all of them at once. Boiling speeds up waterlogging and clears surface organic matter before the wood goes into the display. Weigh floaters down temporarily with rock 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\u003eHow long before it sinks?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinner pieces in this grade usually waterlog faster than the Large or XLarge branches, but soak times still vary piece to piece — boiling shortens the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe for a shrimp colony?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak and rinse it first. Tannins aren't harmful to shrimp, but uncured wood added straight into an established tank can shift pH faster than a sensitive colony likes.\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 onto the smaller branches, which take moss especially well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeachem Prime\u003c\/strong\u003e — dechlorinates the water used to soak and cure a batch this size.\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 extra bark fragments and debris a larger piece count sheds early on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774341992739,"sku":"VINE10","price":243.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/VINE10_1_d457db90-201b-4286-a9d7-d92d8ef6a0d0.jpg?v=1782869074","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-shrimp-wood-medium-20-30cm-20-pieces","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
