Anyone have this problem? I can see what looks like white fungus growing on my african driftwood. What is this and how do I eliminate it? I have never seen it before on any of my other driftwood, just in the planted tank. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This happens on some varieties of driftwood. Is it a whitish cloudy looking slime (basically looks like snot growing on your wood *ick*)? If that's the case, then it's pretty normal, and harmless to your fish. In a few weeks it will go away on its own, or you can take a brush and scrub it off and siphon it out (as it will clog your filter) to get rid of it. It's not uncommon with new pieces of wood that were once submerged, then dried out, and then submerged again. It also happens a lot with grapewood.
Ok, thanks for the info. It is actually like a fuzz though. If it is the same as you are talking about, I wont worry then. Thanks again.
i had the same prob w/ my driftwood. i gave up trying to gt rid of it and it has been in my garage for months. i will try to fix i now though. just need a large enough tub for it.
