Discover High Quality Honeycomb Wood
It is a recent addition to the aqua-scaping world and has taken it by storm. It resembles dragon stone but is light and has so much more character. The best thing about it? It clicks into one another like Lego pieces. Look at the recent aqua-scaping competitions and see how many scapes utilise it *winks*
This wood has fantastic texture and detail, with a honeycomb-like structure. It is safe for aquariums and terrariums, and the apertures provide hiding places for shrimp and other small species. It is available in small, medium, and large.
Benefits of HoneyComb Wood
Honeycomb wood is much lighter than hard and solid wood, which makes it easy to move and transport from one place to another. Honeycomb wood is an excellent choice for those who enjoy the look of dragon stone but want to have driftwood in the tank to help lower the pH of the water.
Like other driftwood, honeycomb wood releases tannins for some time, which can cause the water to have a brownish-yellow tint. Boiling the wood and having activated carbon in the filter can help remove most tannins from the driftwood and the water column.
Size Specifications of Honeycomb Wood
The photos provided represent what you will receive. Honeycomb wood is a natural product, so differences in coloration, shape, and size are expected.
- Small: 10-25 centimetres
- Medium: 25-40 centimetres
- Large: 35-60 centimetres
Precautions To Use Honeycomb Wood In Aquarium
- Driftwood can leech tannins, which can cause a slight yellow or brown tint to your water.
- Driftwood can change water chemistry in terms of pH and hardness.
- Aquarium driftwood is buoyant and will float. Please ensure your piece is fully waterlogged before use in a planted tank, or it will float upon filling the aquarium.
- A large stone or heavy decor may be placed on top to ensure that a non-waterlogged piece of wood stays submerged.
What is honeycomb in wood?
Like surface or end checks, honeycomb is caused by a tension failure across the wood's grain, usually in the wood rays. It is typically an extension of a surface check, and the wood is tearing apart.
Is honeycomb good for you?
Honeycomb is rich in healthy antioxidants and carbohydrates, which can improve the immune system. Beeswax is a honeycomb that also contains long-chain fatty acids, which are best for the heart and lower harmful cholesterol levels.
