Dolfan0925 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 looks like the cyano in my 2g. If it's everywhere in a week you'll know:) Link to comment
don.earnest Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 It looks like Red Slime Algae (Cyanobacteria). You can just scoop it out and increase the water flow to that area, maybe get some sand sifters. Fighting conch's are good. Link to comment
jmt Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah it does, take that #### out and throw it away before it's too late. Link to comment
willember Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Thanks guys, I have already siphoned it out once, but didn't wory about getting all of it. It seems to have been included on the rock that a zoanthid came on. But it has grown since being in my tank. I always thought Cyano was more dustlike. Maybe I am confusing it with diatoms. Thanks again.-Willem Link to comment
Dolfan0925 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah it does, take that #### out and throw it away before it's too late. From my experience cyano is like speeding, once you see the cop it's already too late. I started my 2g with a few pieces of larger rubble from my 10g. Like the next day I had what he has. took the whole rock out, now my whole tank is a nice shade of maroon. I hate that stuff. Seems like nothing naturally will get rid of it. Why isn't the ocean floor covered with the stuff? Link to comment
jmt Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Because factors in the ocean keep the sand bed stirred up. Link to comment

willember Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 update: I siphoned most of it out, and eventually the rest went away... next potential problem...red flatworms.. Link to comment
