Usage
Rinse wood with water before use to remove any dust or debris.
Most driftwood is buoyant and needs to be soaked for about a month to absorb water and sink. During initial installation, use rocks, anchors, wood ties, or other methods to temporarily submerge the wood until it is completely submerged.
Saprolegnia, a white, fungus-like growth, may appear on the wood during the initial stage. If it occurs, scrape it off and vacuum it frequently with a small hose. It should disappear naturally within a month of initial installation.
Driftwood can cause a decrease in the water's pH level. It is recommended to maintain a minimum kH of 3 to create a buffering effect and monitor the pH level regularly.

By following these instructions for use, you can ensure a safe and healthy environment for the inhabitants of your aquarium, paludarium, or terrarium, while enjoying the natural beauty that wood offers.
