labrat Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Hi all, Could you guys and gals help me pick names for my clowns and ID this new growth I have on my LR. My proposed names are in red as you can see Rick Link to comment
Acoustic Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 The last picture is bad news bears. I regret to inform you that you have an infestation of cotton candy algae. Don't try to pull it out with your hands or scrape it in your tank. It will only break up into filamentous particles and spread even more in your tank. Link to comment
labrat Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 Hey Acoustic what should I do, all my water specs are right on and I have a kick a** skimmer etc etc! Ph=8.3 No3=0 ALK=3.5 Ca=410 Link to comment
labrat Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 Also Acoustic, it's not stringy/hair like as observed with cotton algae! Link to comment
labrat Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 I found a pic of cotton candy algae over at reef central and the stuff I have growing looks nothing like this. Any help all? Rick Link to comment
shadofax69 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I personally think it is some sort of branching coraline alage. Sorry but for the first picture I can't help you out. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I beleive it to be this algae that is just starting to bloom. If you have a skimmer it will come to pass. Link to comment
