During initial installation, use rocks, anchors, wood ties, or other methods to temporarily submerge the wood until it is completely submerged. \u003cbr\u003eSaprolegnia, 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.\u003cbr\u003e Driftwood can cause a decrease in the water's pH level.
