Soak it in a bucket of water for two to three weeks, changing the water every few days to reduce the initial tannin release, or boil it in batches — a large piece may need to be boiled over more than one session to fit the pot. Expect a noticeable tannin tint in a new tank for the first few weeks; it's cosmetic, not a water quality issue, and fades as the wood settles in. Use a black-water conditioner or activated carbon if a clearer tank is wanted sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a natural product, Bioscape Shrimp Wood is sold as-is rather than under a manufacturing warranty, though your rights under Australian Consumer Law still apply if a piece arrives damaged or not as described. Ships by standard parcel post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill one piece be enough to scape a 60–90 cm tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften yes. At 30–40 cm, a Large piece is sized to work as the sole structural feature in a standard tank, though many aquascapers still add a second smaller piece for balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it need to be soaked before going in the tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not compulsory, but new wood floats until it's waterlogged, and pre-soaking cuts down the initial tannin release. Allow longer than for a smaller piece — two to three weeks of soaking, or boiling in batches to speed things up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the piece I receive look like the photo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot exactly. Each piece is hand-selected from natural stock, so shape, branching angle and colour vary — the photo shows the style and size range, not the individual piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe for shrimp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this is the intended use. The branching surface develops biofilm that shrimp and shrimplets graze on, and the wood itself doesn't affect water chemistry beyond the tannin tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55242235609379,"sku":"BA8366","price":28.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/VINE11_1_e6e2030b-cb89-4e23-9992-0a001d7259cb.jpg?v=1782297331","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-shrimp-wood-large","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
