does anyone know how long it takes to get all the tannis and and other things in this wood to come out and stop staining water color. i have to submerged under water in bucket and i change the water everyday
65 Gallon -1 RES (Myrtle) -1 Pleco (unnamed) -1 four lined pimelodus catfish (unnamed) -1 shubunkin (unnamed) 29 Gallon Planted Tank -3 cory cats -# guppies!
I don't know if my experience was the norm, but I soaked my mopani wood for about a month and it still changed the water in my tank brown. I even boiled it, and changed the water out for hot water every day.
I bought Purigen Seachem and it cleared my water in a few days. Other than that little trick it's a waiting game. I love the look of mopani wood though!
