Rosewood 19903 Final Thoughts

"I lucked out."

The fish love it and it's a great addition to the aquarium. The branches need to be securely assembled to avoid them coming loose and floating. The fish love it and it's a great addition to the aquarium. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. It even had small branches correctly located to do my mount! I cant wait to see what it will look like. Somewhat smaller in diameter than I assumed.

"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.

"No floaters."

Based on other reviews some things are certain. You can bend and trim to some extent to help conform it to your particular space. But up close it is obvious where the branches connect and makes it look fake. I got a small piece and it is fairly large. I highly recommend this driftwood and I would buy it again. I am rarely a fan of artificial aquarium decor. If you have a small tank this is a problem.

"Thank you for the gift!"

I was unsure when I ordered what type of wood they would be. Not as big as I thought, but still two nice pieces! I received it today and am very happy with what i got. I've now ordered 2 large and 2 medium. You could also leave off a section branch and use it separately in your design. The clean water pic is after 7 days and 3 full water changes. I received it today and am very happy with what i got.

"I have a 75gal."

Overall, if you need a few smaller pieces of wood, this should work for you. I have a newly established tank for my Green Spotted puffers. Covered in moss for extra protection.

SunGrow I9-NAQ8-3JTB Final Thoughts

"I was WRONG."

Nice twisted pieces with some personality. The pieces can be trimmed if needed and positioned as you need for placement. That means that you have to insert smaller plastic branches onto the trunk. My shrimp and fish love it plus it looks great in the tank. My shrimp liked to crawl around and eat off this. Hopefully in a little while they will sink. I am glad it is in my tank and adds something natural that the fish should enjoy.

SunGrow Final Thoughts

"They did not float."

I bought three of these and all three are only 11 inches long at their longest edge. I ordered the Large Piece and it's about 17 inches Long. A little apprehensive after reading some reviews. My shrimp liked to crawl around and eat off this. I was unsure when I ordered what type of wood they would be. But up close it is obvious where the branches connect and makes it look fake. Two pieces each individually taped up and no breakage.

"Really love the mopani."

These are about the size of a double fist. You MUST ACCEPT that BEFORE you order any driftwood anywhere online. However, this particular product is exceptional. You roll the dice and don't know what you're going to get. Slightly larger tanks can make something fit better. My shrimp liked to crawl around and eat off this.

The branches need to be securely assembled to avoid them coming loose and floating. I am glad it is in my tank and adds something natural that the fish should enjoy. It provides a decent, natural-looking refuge for smaller fish and other creatures. It blends wonderfully with my other natural decor. Great for a small tank as a centerpiece or to fill out a big tank. They've made great hiding spots for my catfish. Slightly larger tanks can make something fit better.
