Fluval 11817 Final Thoughts

"The betta loves that."

They've made great hiding spots for my catfish. If you have a small tank this is a problem. This is acceptable to me, because my water stays clean and clear, despite the tint. Be sure to follow the directions for de-tanning the wood. It's a lottery when buying driftwood online. All natural product what looks great. Based on other reviews some things are certain.

"It's a beautiful piece."

The molding, texture, and general look is really good with this particular product. He is saving the other driftwood for a tomato frog he wants. Surprisingly, tarter I put it into the tank, I see no tanin at all. Should have soaked it longer but oh well hopefully it will clear up soon. I'm not sure what people are expecting for this price. Covered in moss for extra protection. Decent size around 4-6 inches each.

"They look great!"

Photos show first and second order. A little apprehensive after reading some reviews. I then soaked it in a bucket overnight with hot water. Great for a small tank as a centerpiece or to fill out a big tank. I then left it in cold water doing an occasional change for almost 2 weeks. I like to aquascape with realism to imitate an aquatic habitat. Covered in moss for extra protection.

"I might buy again."

Slightly larger tanks can make something fit better. The fish love it and it's a great addition to the aquarium. However, you can find plenty of 3-5 piece packs out there around this price. I am impatient and don't want to wait to soak. However, this particular product is exceptional. You can bend and trim to some extent to help conform it to your particular space. 3 pieces of Cholla cactus wood, Boiled and put in Aquarium, all is good.

"A week or two perhaps."

Be sure to follow the directions for de-tanning the wood. This alone will not drop it to the low numbers some fish need. I am rarely a fan of artificial aquarium decor. My son got these for his turtle and gecko aquariums. It comes in black, which gives drama to the hardscape. The branches do not bend, but the joints can be rotated to get different positions. This alone will not drop it to the low numbers some fish need.

"Don't hesitate buy some!"

I have taken pictures of the latest two that I bought. It comes in black, which gives drama to the hardscape. I really got lucky with the one that was chosen as it's perfect for my display. My son got these for his turtle and gecko aquariums. I love them and they were packaged well. But up close it is obvious where the branches connect and makes it look fake. Unfortunately, these give off a ton of tannins.

"Thank you."

After a little online research, I decided to buy mopane driftwood for my Fluval 2. I boiled mine for two hours and the water was almost black. I received it today and am very happy with what i got. I really love the piece and it was well worth what I paid for it. It even had small branches correctly located to do my mount! I am very big on using natural materials when I aquascape. You can just scrape or brush it off and suck it up with a water change.

JOR First Impressions

"BEAUTIFUL."

You have NO IDEA what it will look like, or how big it will actually be. Two pieces each individually taped up and no breakage. Should have soaked it longer but oh well hopefully it will clear up soon. The one I received looked better than the online photo. Not as big as I thought, but still two nice pieces! I was unsure when I ordered what type of wood they would be. Nice twisted pieces with some personality.

  • JOR Cholla Wood for Shrimps, 6 Inches Long, Dried Husk of Cholla Cactus, Excellent Food Source, Aquarium or Home Decor for Dwarf Shrimp, Hermit Crabs, Pleco, 3-Pieces
  • ✔ DRIED WOOD FOR SHRIMP MUNCHING --- Our wood pieces are a rage amongst shrimp hobbyists. They are without thorns, have no sharp edges and get softer the longer they stay in your tank, cage or aquarium. Apart from being a visually interesting addition, aquarists love it for its benefits.
  • ✔ HIDING SPOT FOR BABY SHRIMP --- Fish, fry and particularly adventure loving shrimps benefit greatly from the addition of JOR Cholla Wood pieces to their tanks. They love to swim around or camp out in intriguing, perforated wood pieces. The cholla wood is hollowed out so that baby shrimp and other smaller species have a secure hiding spot when they want to spend some “Me time”.
  • ✔ LONG TERM FOOD SOURCE --- A smart choice for any conscientious pet owner, the attractive and multi-functional JOR Cholla Wood pieces are more than just a climber or chew toy. The healthy cholla wood also serves as a food source that lasts for years. It provides shrimps, fish, snails, and other pets with additional nourishment.
  • ✔ HEALTHY CHEW TOY --- Aquatic and terrestrial pets alike enjoy chewing on the soft, nutritional cholla wood pieces from JOR. After they arrive, the cholla cactus husks are ready to be placed into an underwater habitat with a pleco, glo fish and shrimp or in a dry terrarium or cage for guinea pigs, chinchillas or hamsters. The wood even works as a pecking toy for pet birds like parakeets and cockatiels.
  • ✔ BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUM DECORATION --- Each 6” x 1” (15cm x 2.5cm) piece has its own knots and bends. The slightly different appearance makes them a unique and beautiful decoration for your aquarium, water decoration or a shrimp tank. PREPARATION: Before placing the product in the aquarium, wash thoroughly, even after boiling or soaking. A "post-boil soak" in fresh water is a recommended step, too.

JOR Final Thoughts

"I have a 75gal."

Water is still crystal clear and it certainly brought tremendous value to my tank. I have another 5 Gallon Marine and Portrait to setup. I bought three of these and all three are only 11 inches long at their longest edge. The branches need to be securely assembled to avoid them coming loose and floating. The water was clear enough for me to use. I ordered the Large Piece and it's about 17 inches Long. All pieces were nice size for my 5 gallon tank.

"These seem pretty solid."

You have NO IDEA what it will look like, or how big it will actually be. Make sure you boil the item before adding to your set up. That means that you have to insert smaller plastic branches onto the trunk. Gave a very realistic look to my 10 gallon tank. A little apprehensive after reading some reviews. Was skeptical at first but not bad! I was looking for a piece of driftwood for a display application.
