MarkM Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey all, I've been reading the forums for a while, just never registered. However, I have a question. I have a 12g Aquapod, and it has been in cycle for about a week so far. My local fish store gave me live sand and a live rock for the tank. However, I have noticed that the rock has gotten many growths on it... it varys from white spongy stuff to black leafy things. Sorry for the bad descriptions . My question is simple- Do i leave these growths on the rock, or take them off? I'm just wondering if they are harmful. Thanks! Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Welcome to nano-reef.com! The groths are probably just sponges,perfectly harmless but during cycling they can die and smell like a dead bloated skunk in arazona.The leafy things are probably some type of algea.Pics would help.
