Driftwood 9 Months ago  
I recently purchased some driftwood for my tank. Let me tell you, Oscars really love this stuff. They hide around it. Chase each other around it. It looks great. I highly recommend it.

Re:Driftwood 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
driftwood is really good, ive got atleast 3 or 4 pieces but i stopped using it as my water was going brown, will activated carbon help stop this???? and another thing is you got too make sure that the wood is spotless and clean other wise the tannins in the wood will pollute the water,

the tanins in the wood is whats making your water go brown.tanins are not toxic to fish but can turn your water an unattractive colour. im actually in the process of making some driftwood now and will post a thread with pics when im completed

Just stick with the driftwood. Eventually the yellow goes, but it does take a while. Its the water changes that dilute it
