Aquarium Wood - Large

I read the only other review of this item about white fuzz growing on the wood, and thought, ehhh, how bad can it be? I soaked this wood for 3 days to get it to sink, still had to tie it to a rock. After 24 hours in my aquarium, I started to get the aforementioned white fuzz. It then grew into full on slime balls on the cut ends and a thick blanket of fuzzy goo all over the wood, especially in all indentions. I pulled it out, boiled it in a large pot for over 30 minutes. I thought, surely this will kill the white fuzz. As soon as i put it back in the aquarium, now it started to leach tannins...and the fuzz came back within 48 hours. So now I have yellow water and white fuzz. I gave up on this product and pulled it out of my tank. Now I have an algae bloom to treat. Finally, after 20+ days, this "hairy" ordeal is over, and so is my use for this product.

I ordered this piece of aquarium wood, having not seen it. That was a little hard to go for, but i did and now it looks awesome in my 40 tall. When it got here it had a little piece of one of the branches broken off but i couldn't find which one. Probably should have been packaged with peanuts not those big bags of air. Also, when I stuck this thing in my tank it floated and a few days later it started to grow some white fuzz. But I purchased some cycling fish a that i didn't care about and they ate it off. This piece of wood was wierd because it didn't produce any tanis, but hey I'm not complaining. All in all this would have been a 5 rating if i just would have had a little heads up about the fuzz. But now that I know what I'm instore for I'm probably going to get more.

Hope this will help with your decision.
