Hi
I have just upgraded my tank to a juwel rio 180 from a much smaller tank ( roughly 50 litres ) i slowly transferred the bog wood i had in the old tank, and a couple of fish at a time over the past few weeks, have been changing the water, and levels are all okay, fish seem to be thriving - but the bog wood from the old tank ( despite being scrubbed of all the built up 'crap' before it went in and left to soak ) seems to now be covered in a strange furry substance - bits of it are breaking off and floating around the tank, along with small white 'bits'.
Sorry if im vague - i've been keeping fish for a year or so and have had no problems with anything so far ( touch wood ) and am not very knowledgeable on parasites/diesease's etc.
Does this sound like a problem? - or should i simply do another water change and remove bog wood to scrub/soak again. It doesnt seem to be affecting any of the fish at all - it just looks hideous!
Thanks,
Leila
