Hello! I bought three pieces of mopani wood from my LFS and this one has this soft, fuzzy growth on it. I bleached it and then soaked it for 48 hours before putting it in, but this stuff is emerging nevertheless...

LFS has responded that it's a natural part of the wood-in-water process (and that perhaps shouldn't have bleached it...)! Phew!
 
It looks like biofilm and it is normal. It will disappear eventually, and it is a good sign, meaning bacteria is settling in your tank.
 
That's even better news! I like the sound of settling bacteria. Thank you!
