Mopani driftwood root?

[BradH]

When I added mopani wood to my tank... I only had to do 2 water changes before it quit coloring the water. I say go for it.

Mopani is great wood. Aside from being attractive, I like it because it readily sinks. If you're worried about the tea color (I'm not fond of it, myself.), give the wood several baths in boiling water, then soak it in a tub. You'll still get some release over the next several months, but water changes and (IIRC) carbon will take care of that.
