very difficult to get clear pictures.

Pls help ID what is it and how to cure it.

Some info and details

- One week old tank, now cycling with eden 501
- bog wood bought quite long ago. when first bought back, i boil it and dried it and then store.
- Peacock moss bought from someone, i did notice the moss got a smelly smell. i though is water dirty thus, flash it a few times to wash the moss clean.

Thanks

Newly used bogwood tends to secrete some kind of goo.. To prevent it from forming in your tank you can pre soak the wood first..

I experienced the same thing on my driftwood in the initial phase after i set up the tank. I scrubbed it off, and it still came back until i introduced some OTOs and Amano Shrimps. They did a wonderful job of clearing those white stuffs in a matter of days (for my case its less than a week!).
Hope this helps!
Good luck!

I have a similar problem although my mold is very white and the driftwood has been in over a year. Shrimp and otos aren't touching the stuff. Last week found some growing in my drop checker!
