Driftwood.

Graded wood and exact pieces are different promises

Graded driftwood is selected at the yard within a length range. You receive a natural piece like the type shown, with its own shape, thickness, and branching. The representative illustration is not the exact piece in your order. Small, Medium, and Large are sold per piece rather than by bag weight.

An exact-piece listing needs real photographs, full dimensions, weight, and a price for that individual specimen. We have not invented a showcase collection while those pieces are being prepared. When real listings exist, their photographs will identify precisely what the buyer receives.

Species comes before preparation

The wood species and preparation are still awaiting confirmation. We do not name a tropical species, promise an untreated history, or label the wood universally suitable for aquariums and reptiles. Cleaning cannot turn unidentified material into a confirmed safe choice.

Suitable wood may behave differently from piece to piece. Fluval's driftwood guidance discusses soaking, variable buoyancy, and common discoloration. Its practical explanation does not supply missing facts about another seller's material. Read the actual product information before choosing the intended use.

Plan the support and access

Measure more than length. A wide branching piece may not pass through the aquarium opening or fit a particular enclosure route. Check clearances around glass, equipment, and the places animals can enter. A fixed length grade cannot promise the silhouette needed for an existing mounting plan.

For underwater use, plan buoyancy and dependable support. For a dry enclosure, confirm the preparation and mounting method appropriate to that setting. Avoid unstable arrangements that depend on loose soil or a precarious stone to hold a tall branch upright.

Check the box as well as the specimen

The three grades have different configured packing capacities. Their shipping weights are estimates until measured, and a length range alone does not prove physical box fit. Oversize exact pieces need their own stated shipping arrangement and travel separately when required.

Use the cart to inspect the complete plan instead of assuming wood packs like dense stone. Continue with aquarium preparation, wood in reptile enclosures, and brown water and tannins while the confirmed material details are gathered.
