This large driftwood root suits keepers of planted freshwater aquariums of 100 to 150 l who want a natural centrepiece and a structure for fish to hide in. It is also a practical option for tanks where the water pH sits above neutral and needs to come down.
Why it matters
- Lowers pH: the roots were prepared to keep their natural ability to reduce pH. Soaking them in water for several to a dozen or so days, with frequent water changes, removes this softening effect once it is no longer needed.
- Cleaned before sale: each piece is thoroughly washed and boiled to remove salt, bacteria, fungi and pesticides.
- Shelter for fish: the eroded, irregular structure gives cover, which suits species that prefer to hide.
- Plant base: the wood can be used to attach Anubias, moss and other aquatic plants.

What it works with
The root is intended for larger aquariums in the 100–150 l range, where its size can be balanced by the tank's footprint. It fits planted tanks that call for slightly acidic water, and it works alongside fish that use cover. Each piece is hand-trimmed and sent at random, so shape and colour vary slightly from the photo.
