Hi all,
I've got something taking over my tank, I'm not sure what it is. I've battled green algae (and still am) but this appeared right after a rock scrub. It's only on certain rocks and seems to have stopped growing, but I have no idea what it is or how to battle it, can anyone help?
This is a 55 gallon tank, 400Watt MH light setup, 2 false percs, 2 Damsels, 1 bubble tip anemone (doing wonderfully!), a peppermint shrimp, a coral banded shrimp, misc. snails and crabs.
Water parameters seems to be within ranges, no nitrates, no phosphates. Light on an timer (8 hours on, 16 off). Feeding the tank with one frozen cube every other day. Inhabitants seem happy, anemone is opening up daily.
I'm talking about the strange brownish-white hairy algae growing on the rock. What the heck is it?
