Our mopani wood is a natural addition to any aquarium. Mopani wood has a unique, attractive two-tone colour. 

Mopani wood is beneficial to your aquarium just like other types of driftwood. It releases natural tannins in the water which can slightly discolour your water but lowers your pH. Tannins are good for your aquarium. Wood can be soaked prior to adding to your aquarium, or the addition of activated carbon to the filter will help with removing tannins from the water.
