Vinny B Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 hello, new here on NR but not to reefing, i recently set up a 20L nano and its going through its cycle. i got some cured live rock from the LFS. now i thought i had some coralline algae already growing on the back glass as it looked identical to some, but the next morning i turn on the lights and it was gone as i looked around for it or any other possible growths. i see that it has moved to the front of the glass. i did some research but could not find much, looks like a massive amoeba ( penny sized)...i was wondering if this were reef safe er not...any one else have experience with this or should i flush it? any help would be appreciated Link to comment
