Key Features:
- Natural and Unique: Each cork tube is a natural product, providing a unique and organic look to your aquarium or terrarium. The varied shapes and textures create a visually appealing and stimulating environment.
- Safe for Aquariums: Cork bark is generally safe for use in most freshwater aquariums. It may release some tannins initially, which can be beneficial in certain setups. However, it’s important to prepare it properly.

Preparation:
- Aquariums: It is recommended to soak cork tubes before adding them to your aquarium. This helps to remove any loose debris and reduce the initial release of tannins. Boiling can also be used, but cork tends to float, so weighing it down may be necessary.
- Reptile Enclosures: Cork tubes can be used directly in reptile enclosures. You can rinse them with water if desired.
Cork Tubes are a versatile and natural choice for enhancing the beauty and functionality of both aquariums and reptile habitats, providing a more enriching and stimulating environment for your beloved pets.
