Zoo Med African Mopani Wood – Jumbo

Introduction

A beautiful two color African hardwood for aquariums or terrariums.

• Smooth surface, textured detail, and unique mottled color adds interest and enrichment to habitats.
• Use with plants to create the “naturalistic” look.
• One of the hardest and densest woods available; sinks immediately in aquariums and unlike driftwood, will not rot!

Additional Information:

• Mopani Wood has been sandblasted clean and is ready to be added to your terrarium.
• For use in aquariums, remember all natural wood leaches tannins, which discolor water and reduce pH levels. To minimize this effect, soak wood in a separate container, and change water daily to remove excess tannins. The wood will be ready when the water color goes from dark brown to a very light.
• Adding extra carbon to your aquarium filter can help remove any remaining discoloration.
