[mishelly00]

:help:
I just moved my tank and when i set it back up , two days later i now have white stuff on my live rock and dead corals ?????
It looks like it is spreading but none of the fish are showing any white spots they all seem fine. Its not sand either!!!! I used all the same water. I tested the water three times everything is hunky dorry. I have attached some photos can someone please give me insite...

Is it like white film crap??? You can direct your powerhead towards it and have it blow the spots. Your skimmer, then, should take care of things.

Yes is looks like a white paste.........I am trying to attach a photo but I can't figure out how to resize it. So this probably isn't something to worry about. I thought I had a disease spreading in my tank. Except it's not on the fish. Thanks....I will try to attach a picture again...:jumping:

My tank has only been going for a couple of months....so it is new and I am new to this hobby...My live rock is getting more and more brown and now this white crap.

Hello again, Now that I have pictures of this white stuff, does it look familiar?? I scraped my net on it and it seems like a dried up crust. Pretty gross!!

It Flakes off when you scrape it. Thanks, Michelle

I have the same problem with my live rock. Unfortunately, I dont think there is much you can do about it. Mine was like that and unfortunately, it is still like that and my tank has been setup now for about 3 months
