What is this???

So I got up this morning and I look inside my cycling tank and the mopani wood has this slimy skuzz on it. What the heck it's hasn't been in there 24 hr yet. I boiled it for like 4 hour yesterday before I but it in.

dont worry its a normal thing for the wood to do. it will eventually go away . as your tank cycles and u add fish it will dissipate. wood is porous and will suck up a lot of stuff as it acclimates to the tank. some shrimp and plecos will eat it right up

If it is still there when the cycle is done snails will eat it up in no time.

Mopani is notorious for developing the white fuzz on it. You can pull the wood out and rinse it off or use a turkey baster to remove it.
