Good size, fits nicely in my 90l tank, and interesting shape.It did take a lot of soaking, maybe 4-5 days, before it stopped the water getting murky. But, happy with the wood.

Excelente tronco y excelente tamaño. Necesitaba taninos para el agua de mis ajolotes que tiene el pH demasiado alto, y cumple mi cometido. Antes de introducirlo en el acuario lo herví 3 veces y luego lo mantuve 1 semana sumergido en agua por si flotaba (haciendo cambios regulares de ese agua). Lo compré hace 9 meses y a día de hoy aún suelta algo de taninos (cosa que a mi no me molesta y que prefiero por lo de bajar el pH). Queda bonito como decoración, le até una anubia y a los ajolotes les encanta ponerse encima del tronco. El día que necesite comprar otro tronco, volveré a este vendedor.

Madera de mopani auténtica. Tronco de proporciones excelentes en el cual se pueden plantar plantas naturales. Gran acierto para todo acuarista que quiera introducir elementos naturales en su acuario

After a little online research, I decided to buy mopane driftwood for my Fluval 2.6 gallon Spec III aquarium. I have extremely hard water,so I was not adverse to adding an element to my tank that could potentially lower the pH, in addition to the potential aesthetics of the piece. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.I knew that my purchase would probably not look anything like the pictured piece, but I am not dissatisfied - indeed, I am very happy with the look of the driftwood I received. It is a hardwood and doesn't float, so you won't need to anchor it at all. The mopane wood is two-toned, with a very light tone and a black tone. It looks unusual and beautiful.If you plan to purchase mopane driftwood, you will have to do a bit of prep work if you don't wish to turn your aquarium water into a tea color, as the mopane wood will leach into your water. This is what I did to prevent my aquarium water from looking, quite literally, like tea. First, I soaked my wood for a few hours in tap water, using my 5 quart Corningware Dutch oven. I emptied the dark brown water and replaced it with fresh tap water, and then I commenced to boiling the driftwood. After heating the water to boiling, I turned off the burner and let the wood soak for 3 hours in my Dutch oven, with the lid on. After soaking for 3 hours, I emptied the dark brown water, filled the Dutch oven with fresh tap water, and heated the water to boiling again. Once the water was boiling, I again turned off the heat and let the mopane wood soak for 3 hours before dumping that water and repeating the same steps again. I did this repeatedly for the next 48 hours, until the wood was only lightly staining the water brown.Because I was using my Corningware Dutch oven with the lid on, it retained most of the heat during each 3 hour soak without requiring me to leave the burner on. This was important to me because the hot water enabled the wood to leach more quickly, and I didn't want to soften or otherwise damage the wood by leaving it over a constant flame. Also, if I was sleeping and didn't wake up for a water change, I didn't have to worry about boiling the pot empty and starting a fire. As it was, the 3 hour soaks were perfect - the water was still so hot that I couldn't touch the wood or water even after 3 hours.After constant soaking in hot water for two days, my driftwood was now a uniform dark hue. I worried I had ruined it. I left it to soak in tap water at room temperature while I sat up my aquarium. To my relief, once it was out of the hot water for a while, it returned to its natural hues.My aquarium has been up and running for a few weeks now. It has live plants, and last week I finally added the fish. I believe the mopane wood has helped to lower the pH, but even if it hasn't, it looks great in my tank. My water is clear, but when I perform my weekly water change, I can see a light brown tint to the discarded water. This is acceptable to me, because my water stays clean and clear, despite the tint.I highly recommend this driftwood and I would buy it again. However, if you aren't willing to put in a lot of prep time soaking the wood, be aware that it will turn your aquarium water the color of tea.
