I was told driftwood helped to lower the PH so i purchased a piece but was just wondering if i have to do anything to it before putting it in the tank
I had some Malaysian drift wood and boiled it several times and it still turns my water a yellow tent! Even with proper water changes it still gave my water a yellow tent! It's pretty but I don't like my water looking nasty

It actually makes the fish more comfortable because the stained water isn't so clear. I had tannins in a tank once and my fish liked it.

Did they tell you very seldom do you find crystal clear aquatic environments (what we/I like) in nature. Most feesh we like come from tannic water.. wouldn't say they're happy. . Maybe less stressed under our ridiculous leds and purigen strained water..
