This thread is scareing me!!!
Buy I don't know that I have ever read anything like this before, it is like a soap opera only with a little horror thrown in there. If it were me, I would be putting on a HAZ MAT suit and putting that whole set up in the garbage and starting over. !!
However, I am sure it's not as bad as it seems. I read somewhere that it's is a very bad thing to put any kind of wood for reptiles in a fish tank, could do some very bad things to fish. I am wondering of this is not the case here. If I had any money, I would be willing to bet this whole thing started with that wood.
