Red Moor Spiderwood, also known as Spider Wood or Azalea Root, is a popular choice for aquariums and terrariums due to its unique, gnarled appearance and versatility.
- Appearance: Spiderwood has twisting, spiraling branches that create a natural, intricate look, making it a great centerpiece for aquascapes and terrariums
- Lightweight: It's a softwood, which makes it easy to handle and shape. This also means it's less likely to damage glass tanks
- Aesthetic Appeal: Each piece is unique, allowing for creative and dynamic designs. It can be used to create depth and connect different elements in your setup
- Low pH Impact: Spiderwood can slightly lower the pH and release tannins, but it's generally considered low-risk for aquariums.
- Ecosystem Benefits: Over time, it can decay and provide nutrients for microfauna, enhancing the bioactivity of your terrarium
When using Spiderwood, it's important to prepare it properly to avoid mold and ensure it sinks in your aquarium. This typically involves cleaning, brushing, and boiling the wood
We strongly recommend boiling all aquarium wood for 30–60 minutes prior to placing it into your tank.
Boiling helps to:
- Remove excess tannins to reduce water discoloration.
- Eliminate potential pathogens, such as bacteria or parasites that may be present on natural wood.
- Fully saturate and sink the wood, preventing floating in the tank.
- Reduce the risk of fungus growth during the first few weeks underwater.
Because wood is a natural product, variations in colour, shape, and tannin release are normal. Some pieces may still release mild tannins over time, which is safe and beneficial for many freshwater species.
