hi what will the effects of bogwood be on the water parimters in the tank i know it lowers the ph level and can add a bit of a yellow colour but does it do anything else?

No that's it, the tannins (in abundance) can lower pH and colour the water, also some fish feel more at ease with tannins in the water
 
It may soften the water too?

If your keeping fish like malawi lake cichlids that prefer alkaline water it's best not to have bogwood I imagine

Although most fish seem to prefer lower pH but sometimes bogwood does nothing...
