    Pacific Wood – Smooth Natural Driftwood with Flowing Form for Aquascaping

    Pacific Wood is a refined natural driftwood known for its smooth texture, flowing lines, and weathered coastal appearance. Inspired by wood shaped by ocean currents and river tides, Pacific Wood brings a calm, organic elegance to freshwater aquariums, making it ideal for minimalist, nature-style, and blackwater-inspired aquascapes.

    Unlike heavily cracked or rugged woods, Pacific Wood features gentle curves and softened edges that create natural movement without visual noise. Its balanced form helps guide the viewer’s eye smoothly across the aquascape, making it especially effective in rimless tanks and display aquariums where harmony and flow are key.

    As Pacific Wood matures underwater, its surface supports beneficial bacteria and biofilm, offering grazing areas for shrimp and snails while contributing to overall tank stability. It may release mild tannins, subtly enhancing water tone and creating a more natural environment for fish that prefer softer, calmer habitats.

    🌿 Product Preparation

    How to Prepare Pacific Wood Before Use

    • Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse Pacific Wood under running water to remove dust and surface debris.
    • Soak Before Use: Soak for 5–7 days to help the wood sink naturally and release initial tannins.
    • Boiling (Optional): Boil for 45–60 minutes to speed up sinking and reduce tannin release.
    • Natural Tannins: Releases mild tannins that support soft-water fish and shrimp health.
    • Secure Placement: Ensure the base is stable before filling the tank.
    • Final Layout: Best positioned as a grounding structure or flow-directing hardscape element.
