Hi People
I have my QT tank set up for about a month and a half now. about 2 weeks ago i had to do a water change, that resulted in me being forced to use tap water. the expected Diatomic growth came and went i figured that was it. but then 3 days ago this stuff started appearing on the substrate. Now its pretty much covered the entire bottom, and is now growing on the glass too (circled). the only thing i have in there is 1 small damsel, who seems to be doing ok. the stuff is like a dark garnet / purple and is feathery and soft looking in texture. i was going to drop a snail or two in there and see if they eat it , but i dont know if thats the greatest idea.
:help:
