Madra Wood

Madra Wood is a premier addition to our aquarium hardscape collection, offering a rugged look that rivals classic Malaysian driftwood. Characterized by its intricate knots, deep whorls, and weathered textures, Madra Wood is a great choice for hobbyists looking for a unique centerpiece or accent wood for a planted aquarium.

Product Features and Benefits

• The surface of Madra Wood is filled with natural character. These deep grooves and knots make it an ideal aquarium wood for anchoring aquatic mosses, Ferns, or Bucephalandra.
• Its heavy, textured appearance pairs beautifully with popular aquascaping stones like Seiryu or Dragon Stone. Use it as a standalone centerpiece or as a bridge between rocky outcrops in a planted aquarium hardscape.
• Available in a wide range of sizes and packs, Madra Wood can easily accommodate everything from a nano setup to a large-scale display tank.

Preparation and Care
Driftwood is a natural product and requires a bit of prep before it’s ready for prime time.

1. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the piece to remove any dust or debris from transit.
   
2. The Floating Phase: Depending on the density of the specific piece, Madra Wood may be buoyant initially. To keep your hardscape from floating away, we recommend weighing it down with a stone or soaking it until it is fully waterlogged.
3. Tannin Management: Like most aquarium driftwood, this will release tannins, giving your water a warm, "tea-colored" tint. This is a natural occurrence, and the effects will subside over time. If you prefer crystal-clear water, a 1–2 hour boil is the best way to fast-track the process. You can also reduce this effect through consistent water changes or through the addition of Aquario Neo Carbon Bag

Important note: We recommend rinsing wood thoroughly before adding it to an established aquarium. If you prefer, you may also boil the wood for at least 1-2 hours to help release tannins.
