Mnesarchus Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Need a better description the this read algae. Could be Corraline (good), or it could be cyano (bad). Link to comment
caja Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 If it's hard and crusty, attached to rocks and glass, thats coraline. If it's slimy and wispy and attached to the sandbed and rocks, cyano. Link to comment
WorldNation Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 dunno if its hard and crusty or slimy. but it is only on some lr, and on my glass. none on the sand bed. Link to comment
caja Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Probably cyano. Get as much out as possible. Suck it out with a turkey baster or with some airline tubing. Be diligent. Cutting back on the lighting cycle helps too. When all else fails try chemi-clean as a last resort. Link to comment
surfy Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 If it's cyano (red slime) siphon it all out and get more water flow going. Link to comment
