I have a piece of driftwood in my tank that is now fishless cycling. I didn't treat it specially when I got it except to soak it for a week. It's been in there for about 4 or 5 days and I can see some white fluffy stuff growing on it that must be fungus.

I'm thinking that can't be right; the driftwood will just disintegrate in the tank if I let it continue (and what about effects on fish?). So do I give it a very strong salt bath or vinegar bath or something?
