Hi guys,
I set up a 4ft tank (rio 300) on sunday, added plants from my existing diease free tank and added driftwood bought from my LFS. I poured boiling water over it and had it in buckets of water soaking before adding. After putting in my mature media and exisiting fish into the tank i felt pleased.......until today!!!!!!!!!!
There are white cotton wool looking growths all over both bits of wood, so I paniced and removed them. I have poured boiling water over them again and have scrubbed them in clean water. Any idea what it is ? and will it harm my fish who I love?!! The only new thing is the tank and driftwood and the added Melafix. Could someone please put my mind at rest or advice me on a course of action. Many thanks!!!!!!!!
