Zoo Med African Mopani Wood Jumbo

Zoo Med African Mopani Wood JumboI love the size of the jumbo because I use it in my 135 gallon aquarium as a center piece and my cichlids like to excavate tunnels beneath it.The piece I recieved is about 31" long by 8" at it's widest and 7" tall. I just orderd two more because the free shipping was almost as much as the wood itself because I live in Hawaii and if I found one as nice as this one here it would probably be about 80 bucks

This piece of wood is HUGE! It weighed 30lbs, was about 28 inches by 21 inches by 18 inches. Be forewarned...it is truly a Jumbo piece of wood. I had to cut mine into 3 pieces but it was fairly easy. It is beautiful in the aquarium(I only have one piece from the Jumbo and the medium piece I ordered along with this one in the aquarium but the other 2 pieces from the Jumbo piece are beautiful and I am using them as decorations around my aquarium stand). I have a 75 gallon aquarium and it does release tannin's no matter how long you soak it. I soaked it about 4 days and it has been in the aquarium for about 4 days. Add extra carbon and it helps greatly. The best thing is water changes!! The lighter pieces release less and lighter tannin's than the darker pieces. I will post some pictures in the coming days. I highly recommend this beautiful wood!!

Currently sitting on the bottom of my fish tank(150 gal). The fish I have seem to like it. My catfish made a burrow underneath it in the sand. So it's doing its job.

I ordered the Large along with this Jumbo sized Mopani. The Jumbo wasn't much larger than the Large but quite a bit heavier. Both very beautiful pieces of wood. Just remember to either boil the wood for a few hours or soaking in water for a few weeks if you are using it in a aquarium. It'll leach tannin's into the water making it darker. Boiling and soaking prior to tank use will still not stop it from leaching but at least it will shorten the time before it stops doing it.

Ridiculously large, beautiful piece of wood. Discolored the water in my turtle's tank, but that was to be expected with any Mopani wood. Could not be happier.
