Aquarium Driftwood: Elevate Your Aquatic Landscape

Before placing driftwood in your fish tank, pre-treatment is essential. The process involves the following steps:

1. Cover the wood with water, add soda and salt, and bring to a boil. After the water boils, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Allow the water to cool to room temperature. Repeat this process 4-7 times to effectively remove tannins.

2. Once the boiling is complete, soak the wood in clean water, changing the water several times over the course of a week. This will help further eliminate tannins, ensuring the water in your tank does not turn yellow.

3. When the wood is first submerged, it may appear black, indicating that the tannins have not fully leached out. The wood is ready for use when it turns a reddish hue, signifying the tannins have been adequately removed.

If the extensive boiling and soaking process seems too time-consuming, an alternative solution is to use filter resin particles. Place the resin in your filter, and the tannins released by the driftwood will be quickly absorbed, keeping your tank water clear.
