Amazon Wood
Amazon wood is an interesting driftwood with twists and knots that adds plenty of character and texture to a planted setup. Commonly used as an alternative to Spiderwood, Amazon Wood can be placed many different ways and will look great anyway it is placed in your tank. Amazon Wood is safe to use in the aquarium, and offers a unique look in many scenarios including but not limited to terrariums and aquariums. Coloration is a lighter tone, but may darken naturally when placed in a submerged setting.

Notes:
- Driftwood can leech tannins which can cause a slight yellow or brown tint to your water. This is natural and the effects will reduce over time. Boiling the wood prior to use can decrease the tannins leeching.
- Aquarium driftwood is buoyant and will float. Please ensure your piece is fully waterlogged prior to use in a planted tank or it will float upon filling the aquarium.
-
A large stone or heavy decor may be placed on top to ensure a non-water logged piece of wood stays submerged.
- 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.
