WIO Wood – Neptune

Neptune Wood — nature’s sculpture. Weathered pale driftwood shaped by water, wind, and time. Add natural elegance and serene contrast to your scape with this rare, true driftwood shaped by the forces of nature.

Neptune Wood is a rare and naturally sculpted driftwood collected from rivers, lakes, and coastal shores. Its whitish to pale tone and intricate, organic shapes bring timeless beauty and calm to your aquascape, paludarium, or terrarium. Crafted by nature through years of water, sun, and wind exposure, each piece is one-of-a-kind — like a sculpture born from the elements.

Unlike most driftwoods, Neptune Wood releases little to no tannins, so you can enjoy crystal-clear water without the wait. Whether used as a centerpiece or as part of a harmonious hardscape, Neptune Wood elevates your habitat with a uniquely serene and artistic presence.

The WIO difference: Our woods are authentic, naturally lake-aged, and carefully selected for their shape, texture, and ecological safety.

• Basic Curing (new setups or small loads):Soak in warm water for 24 hours; rinse thoroughly before use
• Intensive Curing (established aquariums with livestock):Boil for 30–60 minutes to eliminate potential contaminants; follow with daily soaking in fresh water until it runs clear
• Gradual Introduction:Introduce slowly to monitor potential water chemistry changes; start with small pieces if uncertain

Water Monitoring

• Releases little to no tannins — enjoy crystal-clear water from day one
• May still subtly influence pH; maintain kH ≥ 3 for a stable buffer
• Test pH, kH, and gH weekly during the first few weeks
• Biofilm formation is natural and beneficial — it will diminish over time or can be removed manually
