Would something like this help?

Tearing down the tank really isn't an option this weekend.
No need to tear down the tank. You really should try to remove the wood and clean it. Try a gravel vac or scoop out the rest with a net or your hand. Jungle Labs makes (or made) a product for small fish fungus. I think it was Small Fish Saver and Mardel Labs makes one called MarOxy; one of these may help.

The tank is coming along.
