Hi Kristen,
How are you !!!! Hope all is well?

You most definitely have an advantage to wait this out if there are no frogs in the tank yet.
It's coming along very nicely Don't ya just love moss ?

I doubt it will be a problem.
It goes through a bunch of 'phases'. Just keep an eye on it.

What kind of wood is it.
May I ask - how did you prepare the wood?
