Slime covered wood
Eww man - that slime covered wood makes me think of something different than a Woodland Troll:

Troll snot from Harry Potter!
Thanks Marcel
Thanks CooKies, the plant mass is very low atm, there are a load of plants hiding behind the hardscape but they are mostly very immature stems grown in vitro, and some Crypts which are busy melting. So I'm doing as near as damn it 100% water changes every day, the Twinstar is on at 60% for 8hrs (should reduce it to 6hrs but I can't be bothered; I'll see hw it goes), and for what it's worth have the Twinstar Nano on as well, and I'm dosing LC every day.Nice start Tim but That’s very low plant mass, how do you manage algae? Low intensity on the twinstar?
I know, I've mostly managed to get away with it in the past, but I think I'll be soaking the wood from now on as well, if only to get it past the slime stageall this mess with cig filters and silicon reminds me of the awful start of my current scape...ain’t gonna do the same mistake; my new wood is currently sitting in a big bucket full of water ...won’t use it as long as it doesn’t sink
Sorry Tim don’t mean to thread jack, but it’s funny you mention that cookies.Discovered that M.guyana is very sensitive to fungus , better wait for the tank to mature and then plant it again.
Just to add to this soaking the wood will not prevent the fungus either it will stop it floating yes but the wood in my new scape has been soaking for 6 month in rain water that constantly over flows and when I came to use it i scrubed it clean bleached then boiled it for 30 mins and I still have the white fungus that has melted leaves on Anubias and some hygrophila pinnatifida
Cheers

With a passion boardering on the pathologicalSnails are very effective fungus eaters and aren’t sensitive to nitrites so can be added at day 1 but I know @Tim Harrison hate them.
I can understand that with pest snailsWith a passion boardering on the pathological
Snails, and Myriapods
