hmm, ive had a brand new piece of malasian driftwood in my tank for 2 days now. I rinsed it in hot water for 10 mins, and so far no tannins has entered my water. Im glad there is no discolouration....but is it a bad thing?
 
it wont necessarily leach tannins... if it has been soaked before, it's quite possible you'll never see any discoloration... I've had several pieces that did not leach any... but I've had a few that did :)
 
well to be honest, i only soaked it for an hour, then rinsed it in the tub for maybe 10 mins....so far water is crystal.
