think you need to read a little more how this works.

Nice wood. Will need to be weighted down, but, I think it would leech a lot of tannins so it's be AWESOME for a blackwater environment.

Yes, should be great for blackwater. I started to soak it and got a LOAD of tannins. Took it out cuz I was going out of town and never got it going again...and then lost the plecos I had wanted it for in the meantime.

I can't answer that one "fer shure", maybe post that Q in the FW forum...or maybe someone will answer here. I suspect the GF won't care as long as it is fed, has clean water and isnt too warm

It will definitely give you Tea-color water tho...at least for awhile.

If you have carbon in your filter, it should remove the tea color.

Not concerned with the tannis leaching...I actually like the brownish tint to it. I'm more curious with the type of wood for an aquarium.

 

[hpt84]

In my opinion wood is wood. As long as it is safe for the aquarium, then it is prolly fine.
