[NUMB3RS]

How do you bleach driftwood with a plant attacthed? It is infested with BBA....How do I make sure the bleach is all gone? Thanks! :help:

Use H2O2 instead of bleach.

I would boil instead. Wood soaks in chemicals.

The op said with a plant attached I wouldn't suggest to much boiling.

What contains H2O2? Will boiling get rid of BBA?

Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2

what plant is on the drift wood?? you can direct dose Seachem Excel with a syringe to rid yourself of the bba. Then, I suggest you find the cause of your BBA growth.

My cause was too much light, too much phosphate, and unstable co2 levels.

Couple of Options

1. Remove the plants and do a bleach treatment and for the driftwood use an old brush and scrape the driftwood.

2. H2O2 Treatment

3. Spot Treatment Using Seachem Excel (This is the best and easiest)

BBA is usually caused by unstable CO2 .... so you might want to check that
