Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm helping my MIL set up a new 55 gal and she specifically wants white driftwood to contrast against black sand. It's going to be set up as sort of a peninsula style, viewable from both sides so I thought manzanita that clusters mostly at the end next to the wall, then twists and reaches toward the open end of the tank would look awesome.
I've never used manzanita before but in most tank pictures it looks light tan. In my online searches though, many of the dry pieces look white. Does it ever look white in the tank or only when dry, or are there varying shades of this type of wood? Is there any way for me to use diluted bleach to lighten it?
Or do you have any other ideas for a type of driftwood that's very light in color?
