Hi DG,
Both bogwood and mopani are very common and I would recommend either for your tank. Lots of people say you don't need to soak mopani, but my advice would be to soak it anyway and give it a good scrub to remove any 'rubbish'. I always pour a kettle of boiling water over any wood before i add it to my tank to kill any nasties and stop fungus growing, which can sometimes happen on new wood.
