Questions
Mine isn’t sinking! Soaked it for most of the day and put in the tank and it is floating.
- Mopani wood is a very heavy wood and I’ve never seen even the smallest piece float. If your piece is floating- it might not be what you expect. Boil it for about 30 min. I do it 2x mainly to get most of the tannins out. You shouldn’t have an issue then.

How long before the tannins stop leaching out? My tank looks like sweet tea. i have removed it and keep soaking. My filter isn’t able to draw out the color. I think I’m going to have to dump it all and start over.
- Follow the advise to soak it and change the water every day. Try boiling it for 30 to 40 minutes to kill germs and bacteria as well as remove more tannins. Don't boil for too long so you don't wear out the wood. As far as your current water, don't pour it out. Put in a charcoal filter for several days and do a few 20% water changes. That will fix everything. Don't get discouraged, your efforts will pay off. Mopani wood is good stuff. Hard wood that will last for years.
