Description of Authentic African Mopani ๐ŸŒณ Wood for Zoos and Large Enclosures

Mopani Wood has been sandblasted clean and is ready to be added to your terrarium. For use in aquariums, remember all natural wood leaches tannins, which discolor water and reduce pH levels. Adding extra carbon to your aquarium filter can help remove any remaining discoloration. Size: LG 16-18"".

The fish love it. But I'm still on the fence.

I ordered one large piece and two small ones. Small ones varied greatly in size, large ones were beautifully shaped. I should have known more about tannins before buying. I set up my new 50 gallon tank to look more natural with a sandy substrate and live plants. Natural wood would only enhance the look. And it happened. Had to remove the wood after a light soak due to the excessive color of the tea. So I let it soak longer. I still believe in the product and will spend more time on it. Theโ€ฆ

Great piece of wood, may need sanding.

A very nice piece of wood. I was kinda hoping for a piece in the shape of a tree trunk. However, I didn't ask for a specific form, so it's not the seller's fault. What I received was a T-shaped piece of wood. The wood weighed 6 pounds dry so it would probably be about 10 pounds wet. Its dimensions are approximately 13 x 3 x 10 inches. My biggest problem with this piece of wood was that it had a few sharp spots. I didn't trust that piece of wood to get into my 20 gallon tank with my bettas. Iโ€ฆ

Great for the price.

the price is so good. They have a really nice look and although you don't have a choice when ordering online they have been really nice surprises for my aquarium and they work really well together. Okay the only reason not to give it 5 stars is if you don't boil wood for aquarium use you get Malaysian cone snails, they're not bad for an aquarium but they add little black dots on the sides. and in the forest itself. I think the killer snails will eat them, but I'm not sure. I take care of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • negative impression

I ordered this for my 70 gallon tropical freshwater aquarium to improve the look and also to help control the pH down to a more neutral value. . I also wanted a piece of driftwood, that would be natural. The piece I received was relatively smaller than the sizes in the description (I also ended up ordering a jumbo size which was much larger). I couldn't find a pot big enough to boil this, so I just poured hot water into a large plastic pot and changed the water several times a day for 2 weeksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

I love the look of mopani in my aquarium

Bought 2 large mopani and a medium. The large ones were very good and I got really lucky with some nicely shaped aquarium decorations as well as a large size (I paid less than 20 grand for the large ones, medium to 10). but still a decent size for a medium. I grow African Abonias plants in small holes in the wood. They all look great in my aquarium. Mopani contains tannins that can discolour aquarium water. Give it a yellow or tea color. I highly recommend boiling your cut in water for about an
