A few days usually makes a big difference. I think warm water might make it leech faster.

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!
