    I found these with cotton-like stuff on my bogwood growing recently. I'm experimenting the growing of moss in my tank and have no Co2 usage. Lights are 36x2 in a 24x18x18 inches tank. Wonder what this cotton-like stuff is and how to get rid of them.

    These are some sort of fungus. I re-scaped my tank recently and put in a new piece of wood. The tip of the wood have these cotton-like stuffs also.

    I think they are harmless.....someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Just use your fingers to scrap it off and suck them with a hose when you do a water change the next time.

    Yup, new bogwood and soaked them in boiling water and kept them in a pail of hot water already. Maybe just not enough yet. Will just have to repeat the cycle again.

    Don't worry about it. it comes about with a new setup. Just clear as much as you can, but it will eventually go away.
