This XL driftwood piece is intended for large planted or community tanks in the 200 l to 300 l range. It is a natural root element, shaped by long-term water erosion, that adds structure to the aquarium and can help bring down a pH that is too high.
Why it matters
- Lowers pH: the wood was prepared to keep its natural ability to reduce pH, which suits planted aquariums where a slightly acidic reading is preferred.
- Ready for setup: each piece is washed and boiled to remove salt, bacteria, fungi and pesticides, according to the supplier.
- Hiding places: the irregular root form provides shelter and visual structure for fish that prefer cover.
- Plant mounting: the surface is suitable for attaching anubias, moss and other aquatic plants.

What it works with
This root suits large freshwater aquariums where a single centrepiece is needed. Because it is a natural product, shape and colour vary slightly between pieces and the item is selected and trimmed by hand before shipping, so the exact specimen may differ from photos. If the water is already acidic, the supplier notes that soaking the wood for several days to a few weeks with frequent water changes will reduce its effect on pH.
