FAQs

What is the Aqua One Azalea Root made from?

It is made from naturally dried and treated azalea root.

Is the Aqua One Azalea Root safe for fish?

Yes, it is safe for fish and can provide beneficial tannins.

Do I need to treat the wood before putting it in my aquarium?

Yes, rinse it thoroughly with water before use.

Why is my water discolored after adding the Azalea Root?

The wood releases tannins, which naturally color the water. This is harmless to fish.

Can I use the Aqua One Azalea Root in a marine aquarium?

While it's primarily designed for freshwater, it can be used in marine aquariums.

How do I clean the Azalea Root?

Gently scrub off any algae with a soft brush during water changes.

Does the size of the root matter?

Yes, choose the size that best fits your aquarium.

Will the wood rot?

The wood is treated to prevent rotting but might break down slowly over a long time.

Troubleshooting

The wood is floating.

This is normal initially. Weigh the wood down with a rock or other aquarium-safe object until it becomes waterlogged and sinks on its own (usually within a few days or weeks).

The water is discolored.

This is due to the release of tannins. Regular water changes can help reduce the discoloration. Activated carbon in your filter can also help.

Algae is growing on the wood.

Gently scrub the algae off the wood with a soft brush during a water change. Ensure proper lighting and water parameters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Enhances the natural look of your aquarium.
Provides shelter and encourages natural behaviors in fish.
Suitable for a wide range of aquarium types (freshwater, tropical, cold water, and marine).
Can release beneficial tannins.
Adds visual depth and complexity to the aquarium environment.

Cons

Shape and size vary, so selection is unique to each piece.
May release tannins that can slightly discolor the water (this is a natural process).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Rinse the Aqua One Azalea Root thoroughly under running water before placing it in your aquarium. This helps remove any loose particles and debris.
Placement: Submerge the root in the aquarium. It may initially float; this is normal. It will eventually sink as it absorbs water. You might need to weigh it down initially with a rock or other aquarium-safe object until it becomes waterlogged.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with freshwater, tropical, and marine aquariums.
Water Changes: Perform regular water changes to maintain water quality, particularly if the wood is releasing significant tannins, which can slightly discolor the water. This discoloration is normal and not harmful to the fish.
Cleaning: Clean the wood as needed. If algae starts to grow, gently scrub it with a soft brush during water changes. Do not use soap or detergents.
