Freshwater question: does anyone know what the white fur is on this piece of driftwood? I bought it used and dry from my LFS and cleaned in peroxide, vinegar, and soaking in water. No fish in the tank yet, it is still cycling.

Could be water mold(white fuzz) I donโ€™t know anything about it but that could be what it is, good luck solving it.

Looks like some kinda fungal fuzz for sure. Keep an eye on it!

UPDATE: based on the feedback and that I just put it in a new system, I just tossed the driftwood and bought new stuff. It seems like itโ€™s not worth the risk
