Questions & Answers

Putting one of these in my turtle tank is a great idea- There's a yellow colour in the water, but it seems like it leached. Do you think it will clear up in the near future?

By releasing tanins into the water, it produces a tannic acid smell. We are all naturally inclined to do so. To get rid of that color, you need to change the water. Even though driftwood can leach tannins for years, it can also leach components of its own tanins.

What is the duration of the event?

The fish tank has been in my fish tank for over a year now. It's made from wood, so it should last a long time.

The order, which I received today, contained only one item. What should I do to obtain the other one without returning this one. Could you please tell me what I should ?

It would be best if you contacted

How does this wood handle cutting? it is, is it the same color throughout, or would you be able to tell a cut edge from well below?

Only one piece had a straight cut, so the color of that piece remained consistent. In the other piece, darker areas can be seen. By soaking the wood in water or browning the water, tannins are formed.

It is very difficult to find gnarled wood with attractive grain unless you know what you are doing
5/5

All four of these were delivered, even though I ordered two packs. The aquarium plants come with a cut end, which makes them easy to stand on end in the tank. They're a great deal at 2 for 1. The ones I have are soaking in RO water right now. My South American tank includes them once or twice leached, before being thrown back into it. The following are some things you need to know before you buy Mopani wood 1 .
. You can't stop mopani from leaching tannins into your water, no matter how many times you boil, rinse, soak, or curse. It is not necessary to lower your pH or buffer your water, or if you dislike tea, this method may be less convenient for you Water colored in a certain way. Try to find driftwood of a different kind. Cichlids and shrimp live in tannin-rich waters, but there are fish that prefer them as well. Your fish deserves only the best treatment, so do your homework and treat them right. - Breathe. -Breathe. In addition, mopani sinks right away, so there is no need to add weeks of soaking time. However, you should still soak it overnight in tank water or, if you have RO water, in a bath of distilled Due to the fact that this product has been treated commercially, it is relatively It is possible to buy Mopani from another, non-official dealer To sanitize a commercial source, you will need to go through a cleaning You can find it on the Internet. 1. 2. 3. There is a lot of weight in it. It weighs about the same as a real brick when it's the size of a Put it into your aquarium with care. The more aggressive species should not be able to knock it over and get injured. 1. *2. *3. In most freshwater setups, stainless steel wood screws can be used to attach it. You will have a difficult time screwing it in. Look forward to a fight. My tank is equipped with a four foot piece of Mopani that I bought elsewhere. I bought these little guys to raise the piece off of the bottom so there can be better water flow to ensure the tank stays I have growing fish that do zoomies under and around the Mopani, and they groom it when As well as rooting plants like Anubias Nana and Nana petite in these chunks, they would be perfect for rooted Java I'd say this is a great deal.

This is fantastic! A comparison of this product with another competitor's product, shown in the image
5/5

On the left (see the attached graphic) is this product and on the right is the Zilla Reptile Décor Malaysian Driftwood model number It is also available on Amazon for about 3/4 of the price of Zoo Med, as part of the B001F9CUY4. It is clear to see that you get a lot more for your money with this product, although the Zilla wood was a nice addition. In the back of my 10-foot truck, I have a pair of 10-footers You can put each of the 10 gallon tanks in the other tank, and the result looks fabulous! To avoid dark browning, I boiled all the wood for ten minutes in water, then soaked them for two days, changing the water as often as the browning became noticeable. Afterward, I put them in my aquariums and they floated just fine. I haven't noticed any discoloration of the water in either tank after three days. The carbon filter in one tank of the aquarium is different from the one in the other. There are tons of nooks and crannies for my shrimp to explore in Zoo Med wood, which they absolutely love. While I try to buy as much as possible from my local fish store, their prices were prohibitive on wood, so I looked here instead. Even though I did gamble, I think I got a lot of value for my money. It is important to remember that any natural substance can change the color of your aquarium's water, even if you soak it first. And a natural substance, even if boiled, can grow a coating of bacteria in your aquarium since the substance is nutrient-rich. A wealthy man It is normal for this to happen. You would actually prefer to have shrimp if you had it A biofilm forms on the bacteria, which they consume. My overall satisfaction with the product is excellent and I will certainly buy again if I decide to.

I like the wood you've got! There are two pieces of wood that I really like
5/5

The thing with wood is that because it is real, not made in a factory, you never know what you will get. Using two different methods to prep/release tannins from Mopani, I have come up with two different results. Previously, I boiled wood for 8 hours, changing the water every hour, with a piece I bought prior to this order. I had to pay a lot of attention to it. This time, I simply put the pellets in a bucket of water (treated with water conditioner), drank it for 48 hours, changed water after 24 hours, and the pellets turned In the end, I changed the water, and at that point, it was quite As a result of adding the larger piece to the tank, tannins are no longer being leached. I received an item that was larger and one that was smaller. My 29-inch screen was too big for the bigger piece The body of the tank is standing on its own after being pushed down into the sand. Beautiful! I love the look of it. My top ten list also includes the smaller piece, which I included because it is quite beautiful as well An up against the wall betta tank of 40 gallons. It is like a tunnel to the betta, who loves to swim through it. This is not because of the wood, it's because I added catappa leaves to brown the water, not because the wood is dark. There's nothing better than that for a betta. However, it is actually beneficial to the fish to have tannins, however, some people find the appearance unappealing. In general, I find the wood to be superb for the price and both pieces are lovely in my tank.

The functionality is as expected
5/5

Tannins are added to make the beer taste better. Therefore, in accordance with other reviews I got one nice piece and one small chunk, both of which sank immediately. $13, that seems like a pretty good deal to me. It took me just a few hours to soak mine overnight and the water was tea colored in the morning, so I just soaked them. Mopani wood does contain tannins, but I wanted that, it's one of the main reasons I bought the wood. If you want crystal clear water, don't buy The medicine I used on my sick betta helped immensely, and he is already looking better as a result. You can't object to them because they're so pretty, but if you can't stand discolored water, they aren't for you. My reason for buying them was that I thought it looked more natural, along with being better for the fish. Hopefully mold will not appear like in another review, but I doubt it. A review will be updated if mold appears so it can be removed. Update I'm ordering more now because I still like them.
