🌿 Dive into Natural Beauty!
The Hamiledyi Aquarium Driftwood set includes three pieces of natural coral wood, ranging from 8 to 12 inches in size. Each piece is uniquely shaped, making it an ideal decorative element for both aquariums and reptile habitats. This sturdy driftwood not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your tank but also contributes to better water quality by releasing beneficial tannins.

Nice pieces of wood!
Was a little worried since real driftwood can be a shot in the dark with what you get, but I was pleasantly surprised to get 3 really nice looking pieces! One piece was split on the end which was unfortunate, but it was still pretty sturdy.I soaked the wood in hot water for 2 snd 1/2 days, changing out the water every so often until it no longer turned brown. The wood was still a slightly boyant but not enough to be a problem (stays in place and I'm sure it will sink better given more time).All in all very happy with my purchase! My fish love their new decoration and it gave my tank a major glow up! (Pic included of the tank before adding the driftwood for reference).

Good pieces for smaller tanks.
Fairly small but very good variety in the shapes of the wood. Also the color is beautiful.Probably my only complaint would just be that they could have been a bit 'cleaner' in the sense of no gouges/splintered chunks. I had to take the time to saw off the damaged bits and sand 2 of the 3 down with sandpaper to make them safe to go in my tank with my Betta.

Driftwood Decor: Beautiful But Hard-Earned Tank Additions
After purchasing three small pieces of driftwood for my aquarium, I quickly learned these natural decorations require serious preparation! The pieces arrived with a beautiful, organic shape that perfectly matched my tank's aesthetic, but they weren't ready for immediate use.I had to boil each piece for several hours to remove tannins and potential contaminants. The water turned tea-colored during boiling, confirming this step was absolutely necessary. After boiling, I soaked them in clean water for a full week, changing the water daily as it continued to darken (though less intensely each day).The preparation process was time-consuming but completely worth it. My fish immediately began exploring their new environment, and the driftwood hasn't affected my water parameters at all. The natural look these pieces add to my aquarium creates exactly the serene underwater landscape I was hoping for.

Do not buy
Do not recommend. The pieces of wood look beautiful and were somewhat true to size but they are full of dye. It turned my tank a reddish brown color. I did multiple water changes and then boiled the wood multiple times only to put them bank in my tank to have the water turn color again. I will be returning

Mystery driftwood-worth the $&
To start: ITS DRIFTWOOD THAT WAS BOUGHT ONLINE. If you don't 'like it' I'm not sure what to tell ya. For stating it's between 8"-12" it hits the mark. For me personally I think what I got was perfect and somehow met what I was hoping to get. Now to be fair 2 are small fat pieces with 1 longer thinner piece.It's a great quality for what you get, nothing came broken, or seemed to be altered during shipping.If you're wanting to have almost a mystery box for driftwood- this is the product.

Small.
Much smaller then they appear.

Happy
I ordered 3 pieces and was initially was a little disappointed when they arrived. One is an almost solid bark-like piece and the other two I felt were only marginally more fun. I had planned to use two pieces in my 20 gallon aquarium and one in my starter snake tank. Boiling was a process. I boiled, drained the murky water, and boiled again 4-5 times over the process of 4 hours. The solid piece never did stop making the boiled water dark as coffee but I felt I had reduced the tannins enough that I could accept a little brown in the aquarium if it happened. After placing the two pieces in the aquarium I'm actually really happy with both. The solid piece has a lot of character under the water and both are a perfect size and color. They both have just a tiny bit of bouyancy but do not float after boiling. I'm giving them some more time to become completely water logged then I'll set them how I like them and arrange the plants on and around them. I'm very happy with them. They arrived pretty clean and any dirt or dust was easily removed in the rinsing and boiling process. 24 hrs in and my tank is not any murkier, I do have a carbon filter and accu-clear so that may be of assistance to anyone who is having problems with tannins in the water. They're a HUGE improvement to the aquarium and my fish actually does interact with them and she's normally not the sort. I have not used the third piece yet as I have not set up the planned snake tank yet.

Worth the money!
I boiled for 2.5 hours and they didn’t leak any tannin! I have a 20 long gallon tank and they were perfect sizing for it! They stick out on the top a little (my liking) near the water flow but I’m okay with it, as my betta doesn’t like heavy water flows so it’s a mini water fountain.
