Thanks fish breath but it is in the tank already. I just gotta find some time to post some pictures.

We have a large piece of driftwood (stump off a tree) in one of our freshwater tanks. All has been fine, but within the last two weeks the tank has clouded up. All signs look o.k. in the tank, and we can't help but think that maybe the log is rotting? Looks crappy right now. For what the bog wood is worth, we may just stick to that in the future. Too bad, the stump looks nice in there. Have to wait and see. If that's the case though, I wouldn't reccommend it for your Discus, but I have no knowledge of them other than what I have read.
Good Luck!

I've seen many people do very well with normal driftwood. This usualy only lasts until the wood starts to rot and effect your water quality. Also if you take the wood out of the tank and look at the bottom and into any holes on the bottom, you'll see a white jelly like slime sometimes. I tried all types of wood and will only ever use bog wood ever again. (And sometimes you even get a peice of bog wood that will rot bellive it or not.)

Yup. Can't help but think you are right Gary. I think our log is rotting, causing poor clarity in the tank. It's the only explanation for all the particles floating around in there. Looks like our Breardie gets another piece of wood! (if it ever dries out!!-after 15 months, it still isn't 100% water-logged!)
Perhaps time to tear that tank apart! :evil:

Just dry it out under a heat lamp or blow a fan on it. I got 2 nice peices in there now but unfortunalty i gotta sell everything do to college in the fall :(
