Spiderwood Aquarium Driftwood on Slate Base with Branching Aquascape Design in Small, Medium, or Large Sizes
Aquarium driftwood with a naturally twisting, multi-branching spiderwood form creates a distinctive centerpiece for planted aquascapes. Each piece is pre-mounted to a thin flat slate base, so burying the slate under gravel or soil helps keep the wood positioned without balancing rocks or suction cups.
The branches can support attached moss, Anubias, or Bucephalandra for a forest-style layout. Natural spiderwood varies in shape, weight, and character; the listed dimensions are average measurements. Rinse thoroughly before use. A temporary white biofilm may appear during the first few weeks, and the wood may add a slight amber tint from tannins. Boiling for 1–2 hours, soaking separately, or regular water changes can reduce the tint.
Frequently Asked Questions Can I choose a specific branch shape? No. Spiderwood is natural, so shape, weight, and character vary; photos are representative. How do I keep the wood from floating? Bury the integrated slate base under aquarium gravel or soil so the substrate anchors it. What sizes are available? Small averages 7 x 11 x 9 inches, Medium 10 x 9 x 13 inches, and Large 21 x 11 x 13 inches. Should I prepare the wood before adding it? Yes. Rinse it thoroughly first; boiling for 1–2 hours or soaking separately can help release tannins.
