Ramzman89 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Is this the start of dinoflagellates? Looks like it to me. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It looks like detritus on the rocks. Do you blast them with a Turkey baster? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Ramzman89 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yes I do blow a ton off! It's like a fuzz. Like pillow stuffing looking stuff and it has bubbles here and there. Only ID I can come up with is Dino. Been monitoring it and it's not spreading and not in the low light areas in tank. Nothing on sand bed either! Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Dino's is slimy with bubbles. Fuzzy sounds more like gha forming. 1 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It may develop colour. 1 Quote Link to comment

MrObscura Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I can't really tell ftom the pic but from recent experience I can tell you that if you do ever have to contend with dinos, go dirty. Your tanks too clean. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ramzman89 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yea it's tasteless right now haha. yea I've been reading for a gameplan and there's a million different ways to skin that cat I'd just rather tear everything down and manually remove it. I've been preparing for something to come up. Tanks been up 4 months now and all I've experienced is diatoms and green film algae. Everything else has been smooth getting good coraline growth and everything is healthy and growing! Tank has stayed very stable. I've just read so many horror stories and how "this is just part of the phase for a new tank" guess I've been lucky this far. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Looks like maybe Alcaligenes faecalis? I had to Google the name to remember it 😛 Cleaners... air fresheners ..candels ...insense ...smoke... Even carpet shampooer ...ect tend to make it bloom. Using anything suspicious in your house? Someone on a local forum had it years ago from air fresheners. They thought it was dino for the longest time before getting a correct ID. You should be able to Google up some images and info to see if that could be a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment
