G-day,

So due to some extreme carelessness and lack of thinking on my part (soaked several pieces of driftwood and lava rock to prep it while I waited for my new tank to arrive but mindlessly didn't let it dry before putting it all in a large container) so I now have a container full of new driftwood and lava rock covered with Mold (the general household/damp dark area stuff). Is there anyway I can clean/treat it so it would be safe to use in a tank at some point?

Many Thanks,
Dstone

You could just let it sit outside and dry out if the weather cooperates. Bleach will work too, just be sure to neutralize it before using the wood.
