How To Avoid The 7 BIGGEST Aquarium Mistakes
Planted driftwood
Have you ever heard of a planted driftwood? These are natural pieces of driftwood with aquarium plants carefully sculptured onto them. This process can take months, as the plants need to grow onto the driftwood in a similar way to how a vine grows up wire mesh.
Driftwood contains tannin, which can leak into your aquarium and make the water a brown tea colour. All of our driftwood is pre-soaked to help limit leaking. These are presented on this page as a “work of art” and a highly recommended finishing touch for an aquarium.
