Hi all,
I have a question. I have two pieces of Mopani wood in tank, one an older piece really didn't release and tannins. The newer one clouded my tank with them and, for example, when I cleaned my biowheel it was caked with slimy orange goo. I had no problem with that, yesterday I was getting rid of some fish, going to a lfs, so I had to take everything out. I vaccumed and caught the fish and brought them to the lfs. While I was gone everything dried out so I replaced everything filled the tank and that was it. The tannins are now gone and the tank is clear. Clear from yesterday to this morning. I know tannins are good for the water but I am happy I can see the vibrant colors of my fish. Will other shoe dropDoes anyone have any explanation? Just a little confused.
