Product Information

Full details

Aqua One Natural Redmoor Wood is designed for aquascaping enthusiasts looking to create a professional, organic aesthetic in larger aquarium setups. Featuring a complex, root-like structure, this driftwood serves as an excellent anchor for epiphytic plants and provides essential shelter for small fish and invertebrates. While it offers unparalleled natural beauty, users should be prepared for a mandatory pre-soaking period to ensure the wood becomes waterlogged and sinks properly before final placement.

FAQs

Can I boil the Redmoor Wood to make it sink faster?

Yes, boiling the wood can help it sink faster and also helps sterilize it while releasing some of the initial tannins.

Will this wood affect my water pH?

Driftwood can slightly lower the pH of your water due to the release of tannins, which is often beneficial for soft-water fish species.

Are the dimensions exact?

No, because the product is natural, the sizes are approximate. The 40-60 cm range refers to the primary length of the piece.

Is this wood safe for all types of fish?

Yes, it is safe for all freshwater fish, though ensure there are no sharp, jagged edges if you have long-finned or delicate species.

How do I attach moss to the wood?

You can use cotton thread, specialized fishing line, or aquarium-safe super glue to secure moss to the branches.

Troubleshooting

The wood will not sink after two weeks of soaking

Secure the wood to a piece of aquarium-safe slate or weight it down using suction cups and fishing line until it becomes fully saturated.

Water appears yellow or tea-colored

This is caused by tannins, which are non-toxic. Perform partial water changes to clear the color or add activated carbon to your filter to absorb the tannins.

White film appearing on the wood surface

This is a common harmless biofilm that often develops on new driftwood. It is a food source for shrimp and snails and will naturally disappear on its own.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality natural wood aesthetic
  • Excellent for mounting live aquarium plants
  • Provides functional shelter for livestock
  • Adds significant character and structure to tank design

Cons

  • Requires a potential multi-week soaking period before sinking
  • Sizes are approximate due to irregular natural shapes
  • May release tannins that slightly tint the water initially

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before placing the wood in your aquarium, it must be thoroughly soaked. Place the wood in a separate bucket filled with water and weigh it down if necessary. Depending on the density of the specific piece, it may sink in 24 hours or require up to two weeks of soaking. During this time, you may notice the water turning a yellow or light brown hue; this is caused by natural tannins and is generally harmless to fish, though regular water changes in the soaking bucket will help minimize this. Once the wood stays submerged on its own, it is ready for your main aquarium. Ensure your water chemistry remains stable during the initial setup as the wood settles into the environment.
