Is it localized to that one rock?

 

[indigobluetc]

Ya just on that one piece.. No where else.. Well that I have noticed.

 

[cranberry]

Grab the rock if ya can and hack it off with a chisel. The rest of the tank locks clean so it looks like it came in on the rock and was not "created" by your water conditions. But you don't want this stuff taking hold!

 

[indigobluetc]

Well this rock has been in my 80 for about a year or so then put in here.. Never seen it before till now. .

 

[cranberry]

oh nos! I pray you won't have an outbreak in your future.

 

[indigobluetc]

What is a good way to get rid of it or treat it?
