    Log Wood – Natural Solid Driftwood for Structure & Shelter in Aquascapes

    Log Wood is a classic, natural driftwood style featuring a solid, log-like form that brings strength, stability, and realism to freshwater aquariums. With its thicker body and grounded appearance, Log Wood is ideal for aquascapers who want to create riverbank, fallen log, or forest floor layouts that feel natural and timeless.

    The defining characteristic of Log Wood is its horizontal mass and sturdy presence. It acts as an anchor element in aquascapes, helping balance lighter branches, plants, or stones. Its rounded body and natural grain provide a calm, earthy aesthetic while creating shaded zones beneath—perfect for fish and shrimp seeking shelter and rest.

    Over time, Log Wood develops biofilm and beneficial bacteria along its surface, supporting a healthy aquarium ecosystem. Shrimp and snails frequently graze on it, while fish use it as a territorial marker or hiding spot. Its simple yet powerful form makes it extremely versatile for both beginner and advanced aquascapers.

    🌿 Product Preparation

    How to Prepare Log Wood Before Use

    • Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse Log Wood under running water to remove dust and surface debris.
    • Soak Before Use: Soak for 3–7 days to help the wood become fully waterlogged and sink naturally.
    • Boiling (Optional): Boil for 45–60 minutes to speed up sinking and reduce initial tannins.
    • Natural Tannins: Releases mild tannins that support shrimp and soft-water fish.
    • Stable Placement: Due to its solid shape, place directly on the tank bottom before adding substrate.
    • Final Positioning: Best laid horizontally to create natural tunnels and shelter zones.
