Nah not really.It's just unsightly. In some cases it can change pH however.

Elaborate? Please

I'm pretty sure he means it just looks bad.

if you have enough of it, it may lower the pH slightly, but odds are unless you're keeping african cichlids and you have the tank rammed full of bogwood (which im pretty sure no one would do) then it wont do any harm at all
some fish, mainly south american and other softwater / low pH species, will greatly appreciate it
the colour it gives the water isnt generally to a lot of peoples tastes but this is the only drawback

I don't mind the color at all and I'm sure my cardinals dig it. With all the mopani wood I have, I became used to it.

I think its nice the coloring as it looks warm, but Only slightly tinted not full of brown xD


Thanks for the help
