FAQs
Is the Aqua One Hollow Log safe for saltwater tanks?
This product is specifically designed for freshwater coldwater and tropical aquariums; use in saltwater may affect the longevity of the finish.
Do I need to soak the log before placing it in the tank?
While not strictly required, a quick rinse under lukewarm water is recommended to remove any dust collected during storage.
Can I use soap to clean the ornament?
No, never use soap or household cleaners as residue can be fatal to your fish. Use only clean water and a soft brush.
Is the material heavy enough to stay on the bottom?
Yes, the ornament is designed with sufficient density to remain securely in place on the aquarium floor.
Will this log fit in a 10-gallon tank?
Yes, measuring 22cm in length, it will fit in most standard 10-gallon tanks, though you should measure your specific tank's footprint before purchase.
Troubleshooting
The ornament is covered in excessive algae.
Remove the ornament and scrub gently with a clean, soft-bristled brush under running water. Consider adjusting tank lighting hours if algae growth persists.
Fish are not using the log.
Try moving the ornament to a lower-traffic area of the tank or partially burying the base in the substrate to make it feel more secure and established.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate the Hollow Log into your aquarium, start by rinsing it thoroughly in lukewarm tap water to remove any dust from the packaging. When positioning, ensure the log is placed on a stable base, such as your aquarium substrate, so it does not shift during tank maintenance or active fish swimming.
Check that the log is not placed directly against the glass if you want to provide a 360-degree viewing angle for your fish. For care, keep the ornament clear of heavy debris and perform regular visual inspections to ensure no sharp edges have developed over time. It is fully compatible with standard gravel, sand, or planted substrates.
