Sinking Wood

• Instantly Sinkable: No soaking or anchoring required.
• Dense & Compact: Ideal for secure, grounded hardscape compositions.
• Twisted Beauty: Sculptural forms with a natural, gnarled texture.
• Natural Color: Warm tones of weathered brown and earthy hues.
• Effortless Setup: Perfect for aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums.
• Packaging: Sold by piece. Available in Small size (10–20 cm).
• Origin: Naturally waterlogged and untreated-ready to use.

Preparation and Handling Precautions

• No Curing Required: Sinking Wood sinks immediately.
• Rinse Before Use: Give it a quick rinse to remove any dust or loose particles.
• Optional Pre-Boil: For extra cleanliness, a 10–15 minute boil can help reduce any residual tannins or biofilm.

Initial Buoyancy

• Not an issue-this wood naturally sinks without soaking or weighting.

Natural Organic Material

• Expect natural variation in color, curvature, and surface detail-each piece is organically unique.

• Water Monitoring

• May release some tannins in early stages, though typically minimal.
• Maintain kH ≥ 3 to buffer and stabilize pH.
• Test pH, kH, and gH weekly during early use.
• Perform partial water changes if coloration occurs.
• Biofilm or saprolegnia may appear briefly-harmless and short-lived, removable if desired.

Placement

• Quick Setup, Strong Foundations: Use as a stable base for more complex layouts or in minimalist scapes where grounded forms matter.
• Position among rocks or along substrate lines to create structure and flow.
• Pair with mosses or epiphytes for contrast and texture.
