I'd think mopani.

Mopani is a lot more dense and usually sinks by itself and is heavier, grapewood tends to be difficult to sink without tying or screwing it to something.

mopani. I heard purigen works great on tanins, but i may be wrong.

Is your water cloudy or stained?

I use purigen but needed to recharge it hopefully it helps

i mean is it tinted or cloudy. tinted water is like tea. cloudy water is like water with milk in it.

Boil your driftwood for at least 20 minutes the longer the better to take out all the initial tannish, i don't mind the tannish color effect though, it give more nature feel to my planted tank and my fish love it .

Im in the same boat, its a dingy teawater look but its closer to what its like in nature so Im ok with it.

Its kind of cloudy and stained. I removed the peice in the second pic even though it was the best looking. Its lighter than the other two and as a milky look to it. Did a large wc too so we'll see
