Good quality wood. suitable for wood

I bought 3 medium and 1 large. To be honest I've never used small ones. All three were so different and I couldn't find a suitable place for them in either of my tanks. To be honest, one of the three looked pretty ugly, but the wood is of very good quality and each piece is unique. Big now. it is excellent. Each order is unique so I don't know what yours will be like but mine was the centerpiece of my tank! Very good. Just a complaint.? It's so big it's hard to get it wet and these things bleed

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Update availability

Tannin releasing wood for aquarium

We have recently started adding natural elements to our aquariums. This tree was a great addition. It releases a large amount of tannins into the water, which should happen. I soaked it for a week before adding it to our tank and changed the water every other day. I then added cherry shrimp to our tank and the water turned tea colored just as we expected. The shrimp love it. They immediately started crawling on it and they liked the new addition to their home. I bought 2 of these. One was about

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • -

The pieces of wood that have been preserved look very attractive in my planted aquariums and give them a special character. As others have pointed out, the wood leaches the tannins into the water for quite a while, giving it various tea tones. How dark the tea's appearance will depend on how much you can pull out before sticking the piece of wood into the aquarium. I simmered and simmered small pieces all day, changing the water in between, until the "tea brew" was significantly clearer. I putโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasing

Fabulous! (Use PURIGEN tannins)

Material could not be loaded. I bought two of these and charged at $7 each incl. first class delivery, worth buying. I felt like a kid at Christmas when the package arrived. what would i find Let me tell you they are amazing! :)) First, they are BIG. I took two and soaked them in a 4 gallon bucket. They stand out. Probably about 14 inches tall and wide. Second, they are heavy. Went straight to the bottom of my 55 gallon aquarium. Third, the details are beautiful. One is very two tone. manyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Test results stable
Cons

So cheap so try your luck.

I ordered a medium size and I can't believe the size and quality of this product for such a low price. In the pet store, the price is 2-3 times higher. It's so flat, so it came in a cotton envelope, a small piece broke off in transit, it's ok. I was concerned it would be 6 inches flat or boring as there is no media size listed. It's 12 inches tall and maybe 7-8 inches at its widest point. It has a great curved irregular shape - perfect for the java ferns and anubias plants I want to attachโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No finish
