Soak or weigh Dragon Wood down until it waterlogs and sinks on its own — this can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the piece's density. Soaking also leaches out the heaviest tannin release before the wood goes into the display tank, so the water clouds and colours less once it's in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo ongoing maintenance is needed once a piece has waterlogged. If tannin colouring isn't wanted long-term, run activated carbon in the filter to keep the water clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairs well with fine gravel or aquasoil pressed into the base holes, and with epiphyte plants such as Anubias or Java fern tied on rather than planted in substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a natural product, each piece is unique in shape, colour and hole pattern — the photo is representative rather than exact.
