Eucalyptus Wood Root by Royal Aquatic
Underwater Treasures brings you this wonderful line of natural wood roots to complement your custom aquatic environment. Each piece is completely unique! These wood roots are safe for use in freshwater aquariums and enhance the visual appeal of your tank.
Before adding driftwood to your aquarium, it is best practice to pre-soak the wood in a bucket or other container large enough for the wood, filled with warm, dechlorinated tap water, for 24 to 48 hours. This helps remove tannins and ensures the wood is waterlogged so it will sink properly in the aquarium.
