Impregnating wood against moisture is important to protect the material against weather influences and wear, so that it lasts longer and retains its appearance. There are various methods, each with their own properties. Boiled linseed oil penetrates deeply and helps the wood to resist moisture, but requires regular maintenance. Tar and creosote are traditional agents that provide a durable finish, especially for outdoor use. Waterproof stain and lacquer or varnish create a sealing layer on the surface. For applications with direct water contact, epoxy resin offers particularly strong protection. Certain agents based on borates are suitable for additional surface treatment, but are less effective in long-term exposure to moisture. The choice of the right treatment depends on the specific application and environmental factors.

If nitrate levels are too high, often caused by overfeeding or insufficient water changes, changing the water is the only solution. Regular monitoring and adjustment of water quality support a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
