Medium, this listing, is the size most aquascapers reach for first — big enough to read as a real structural feature, small enough to still suit a nano or standard tank.

Bioscape doesn't publish a marine-safe claim for Spider Wood, so treat it as a freshwater and terrarium product rather than a reef-safe one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Spider Wood is dried for shipping and floats. Weighting the piece down for about a week is usually enough for it to waterlog and sit on its own, though denser pieces can take longer. Presoaking or boiling speeds up sinking and helps reduce tannin release. A harmless white biofilm sometimes forms on new wood underwater — it isn't dangerous, and shrimp, snails and some fish will graze it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne piece of Medium, 30-40 cm Spider Wood. If a layout needs several pieces, order multiples of this listing, or see Bioscape's Spider Wood Medium 10-piece box pack for a bulk option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered against manufacturing and packing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow many pieces do I get?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne piece, in the Medium, 30-40 cm grade. For a multi-piece pack, Bioscape also sells Spider Wood Medium as a 10-piece box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it turn my water brown?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome tannin release is normal with any natural wood, but Bioscape's Spider Wood releases noticeably less than Mopani or Malaysian driftwood. Presoaking or boiling reduces it further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I mix sizes in one layout?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — combining Small, Medium and Large branches is a common way to build a layered root-tangle or tree structure rather than relying on one uniform size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it float?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, initially. New wood is dried for shipping and needs weighting down until it waterlogs, which typically takes around a week but can vary by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55242215391523,"sku":"BA8713","price":23.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/spider-wood-medium-43138253160739.webp?v=1790230925","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/spider-wood-medium","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
