Ancient Wood
Ancient Wood is a carbonized driftwood highly valued in aquascaping for its distinct natural beauty and versatility in crafting breathtaking underwater landscapes.
Renowned for its durability, Ancient Wood remains intact even after prolonged submersion, making it a long-lasting addition to your aquarium. While mostly inert, it may release tannins initially, causing a slight reduction in pH levels. This effect is usually minimal but should be monitored if maintaining specific water parameters is critical.
Preparation Tips:
- Soaking: Submerge Ancient Wood in water for several days before use to help release residual tannins and ensure it sinks properly.
- Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the wood to remove any surface debris or dirt before placing it in the aquarium.

I used Ancient Wood in my 55-gallon freshwater tank and it looks stunning. It sank perfectly after a few days of soaking and hasn’t broken or degraded even after two months. The natural look adds depth to the scenery without affecting water chemistry much.
