Not intended for reef or marine tanks — Bioscape doesn't market Tectona wood as marine-safe, and driftwood generally isn't used in reef displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse each piece under running water to clear dust before placing it. Being low in tannin, Tectona wood typically needs less pre-soaking than darker driftwoods, but a short soak still helps it waterlog faster and settle on the substrate. If a piece floats, weigh it down temporarily until it takes on water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold as a natural product, so variation in size, colour and shape is expected rather than a defect. Contact us if a box arrives damaged or doesn't match the weight ordered — covered under your rights under Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it discolour my water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than most driftwood — Tectona is genuinely low in tannin, though a light, temporary tint is still possible in the first weeks with any new wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it float when first added?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, since it hasn't waterlogged yet. Weigh it down against the substrate until it stays put on its own — usually within a week or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe for shrimp and fish?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Bioscape markets Tectona wood as safe for fish and other freshwater tank inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much do I need for my tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on your scape. This is sold as a 10 kg box of mixed pieces rather than a fixed quantity per tank, so buy based on the footprint and density of hardscape you're planning. If you only need a small amount, Bioscape Tectona wood is also sold per kilogram.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774341697827,"sku":"VINE02","price":348.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/bioscape-tectona-coral-drift-10135266296099-1-dq.webp?v=1790372666","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-tectona-coral-driftwood-10kg-box","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
