Bogwood is a natural heavy hardwood which is perfect for aquascaping your aquarium and is a great for attaching plants and moss to it

it needs a little prep-work before it can go in the aquarium as you have to let it soak in water to allow the tannins to leach out

Tannins are natural compounds found in wood

Bogwood causes tannins in the water if you haven't soaked it for long enough.it will give a rich dark browny orange tint to your water witch has many benifites for your fish like aids against whitespot has anti bacterial propertys aids in breeding lowers the ph

How long should you pre-soak my wood for

It varies from piece to piece, but anywhere between 1 and 4 weeks.

Submerge it in a bucket of HOT or BOILING water and change the water as required

Does it affect the water?

The brown-tint isn't harmful at all, in fact it is similar to the 'blackwater' conditions some South American fish experience in the wild.

The tint can be removed easily by adding activated carbon to your filter as this absorbs the tannins.
