by right. they won't release TOXIC chemical into water,
but the PH will increase int he water. and water turning yellowish/browish.
Hi all,
I was over at petmart some time back and i saw that they are selling a type of background.
The salesman told me that its real bark.it cost around $2/100gram.
I wish to check if :
1) the bark will release harmful chemicl into the water.
I am keeping apisto and cherry shrimps in two differen tanks which i am intending to use the bark background
2) how long can it last?
thank you
yours sincerely,
Storm

Hi...
ahyone tried this bark with CRS?
thanks
It's Cork Bark. It releases tanins into the water like most driftwoods and will decrease the PH level in the tank. Regular water changes in the beginning will stop all this. It will last for 2-3 years before it starts disintegrating in the tank. It is very buoyant and you will need gobs and gobs of silicon to keep it stuck down. All in all, I'd say it's a bad idea for submersed conditions, it's just not worth the hassle.

It's quite annoying if comes off and float. Then you have to redo. lol.
