How do I use Catappa Bark in an aquarium?
Prior to placing Catappa Bark in your aquarium, it’s a good idea to boil it in fresh water. This will remove any lingering bacteria and waterlog it, increasing the chances that it’ll sink when you finally add it to your aquarium.
After boiling your Catappa Bark, strain it and then add it to your aquarium – one piece of bark is sufficient for approximately 20 litres of water. If pre-boiled, or left for a day or two, the Catappa Bark will sink and start to release humins and tanning agents.
As natural products, Catappa Bark won’t last forever and will start to break down and lose its effectiveness. It’s recommended that you replace your Catappa Bark once it starts to break down and/or stops releasing tanning agents.
