well i was just wondering if daphnia would clean drift wood tan from the water.... does any one have an idea if they would or not? i mean i have like a 5 gallon tank just full of them and a 15 gallon tub filled with daphnia also lol


so lets just say i have a WHOLE farm of daphnia i would say in the millions xD but do you think they can do the trick?



P.S. i dont have any spear tanks to experiment on them nor do i have the time to watch them day after day....

No, tannins are not something that Daphnia would be able to eat, I don't think.

I don't think daphnia would do anything. Carbon and/or Purigen would be your best bet to remove tannins.

 

[Higher Thinking]

Tannins are removed by simply doing water changes. Wood won't release them forever. Just keep up on water changes. Or, like the previous post mentioned, use carbon and purigen.

Purigen worked for me.

Tannins are good! But if you want them gone you could boil the wood and speed up the process a bit.

Filtering your water with carbon, or better yet Purigen. Either will take tannins right out
