Wow - thank you for your responses. I am so impressed that some of you took the time to try to alter the picture for a better look. I am so grateful!
Here are a few more pics if anyone happens to check back on this thread. I took a picture of how it spreads to the sand (in little spots - this took about a week to develop), and another macro of the stuff on the rocks. It grows in the lower part of the tank, in lower current areas. I like that comment about fast=bad, slow=ok - this was something that has developed over a month... My big worry was Cyano, but I've heard it comes very quickly. If it is some kind of coraline, it is not like any I have seen from pics online. So if it is somewhere between - is there a point where too much of it can be detramental? How do I curb the growth (I know I could also try to get rid of it completely, but if it's not harmful, I would rather not). Again.. I'd appreciate your feedback. |
this is one of the dumbest things ive seen on here in a while, its not you fish bait just the array of answers when this is without a doubt cyano,now im gonna probably be crappped on for this but if poeple on here with hundreds or thousands of posts couldnt tell that was cyano in 1 second they should try using tap water for a while and start learning about a huge pest in this hobby

ya have to change my vote to cyno.Only the color is the same as I had in my tank,definatly cyno in the last pics

Oh and increased flow, skimming, more water changes, change out any old bulbs that are past their prime and less feeding...if it is cyano :biggrin: |
I said cyano before, and now I'll say this..............It's CYANO.
|
that was my first thought but i have never had it in my tanks so i wasnt going to say anything......... but now more experienced ppl have said so i will tend to agree

I have to admit though.. :lol: when I started reading this post, I thought the same thing as above. I was thinking it, she just said it. :lol: We all do that at times. On a positive note, you gotta admire someone for being able to speak their mind. In the end its just ones oppinion, doesn't hurt anyone. :mrgreen: In getting back to helping "fishbait" with Cyano. Like it was mentioned above, increased water flow with your powerheads, getting a skimmer can help, doing more water changes,having no natural light directly hitting your tank, not overfeeding your tankmates, and cutting down your light schedule :mrgreen: |

You could reduce your photoperiod as well, most people have their lighting on 10-12 hours a day. I don't know how much that will help though as cyanobacteria isn't fueled by light. |

I thought is was a rare color form of coraline, that I've only been privledged to have in small quantities. Oh well, too bad.
