so i found a nice peice of wild wood from my back yard and i baked it in the oven for 1 hour and a half and blached it for a half an hour and ive had it in his tank for bout a week and its starting to grow mold should i take it out and how do i get rid of the mold

I don't know anything about prepping wood for a tank, but I have heard the mold is pretty common with new driftwood.

This from a cichlid site mentions the fungus at the end at that it is normal:

I would take it out, clean it and soak it for a long time before using it in a tank.

yeah i took it out

Mopani wood does the same thing sometimes. I boil it for a few hrs then let it soak and change the water daily sometimes for months.Its tricky. Some does well some not.

I think you should, it might harm your turtles...

You should get floating wood from ps or walmart. Not real wood.

mopani wood is fine you just have to let the tanins leach out. It won't harm your tank just turns the water dark.As for your drift wood just soak it in a bucket change the water daily. I have had the same thing happen with mopani I have 1 piece laying outside in the sun hoping that will kill the mold.
