It also adds a slight tint to water, creating more natural-looking water conditions. The wood is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate all extraneous material, ensuring safe use in aquariums and terrariums.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Mine is still leeching tannins even after 6+ hours of boiling, any suggestions?**
A: I boiled for about an hour. The water was almost black. As some reviewers mentioned. Get this into cold water immediately. If you live in a cold climate just put a bucket of water in the garage and soak it for a few days. More tannings will come out but if 3 gallons of water isn't stained too badly then it will be fine for the aquarium. Change out the water every day or two.

I always have carbon in my aquariums and that will take out all the discoloration.  I have read that it also takes out the PH reducing benefits. So far I have found that it will allow this to "tug" a little on the PH and KH downward keeping the PH from being closer to 8 than 7. With the carbon it won't let it go too low... just keeps it from going too high.

I am ordering a second piece because I plan on adding a male and female bristlenosed pleco to my 75g tank and they need it to rasp on. They can lay flat on the bottom and don't take up much room. Also work great for attaching plants.

**Q: Is this good for White's tree frog vivarium?**
A: Yes wood lasts 20 years under water

**Q: I soaked w/ water changed for 1 week, it grew white fuzz, so I scrubbed and boiled it, and the fuzz (fungus?) keeps returning! Seller please help!**
A: I had the same problem a few years back when I first added Mopani wood to my tanks and was horrified. It only happened to the areas with the light "blonde" color and smooth surface. BUT... no reason to worry.
First off, it's harmless, 100% natural (bacterial bloom, the wood is cycling in your tank)  and will eventually disappear - give a week or two. Scrubbing will only extend the agony as it will start the process over each time you do this.
To help the process along, you can do a couple of things:
1. Add algae eaters to the tank. Loaches and plecos for example LOVE this stuff, many fish do.
2. Let it soak, get fuzzy and then take it out and set it in direct sunlight for a day or two. This can help.
As for tannins: fish love it, humans don't. Use Seachem PURIGEN filter media. Clears your tank water up.

**Q: I have a 5 gallon fluval spec would the large or small piece be better?**
A: I would get the small. I have a 45 Gallon tank  and the large piece of driftwood is standing vertically, it almost reaches the top.
