Let me know what he says about the hairy sandbed because that's what's going on in my 2.5 gal, only it's grey. I stir the top layer of sand, then baste the rock and sandbed. Some, but not all, of the hairy slimy stuff gets sucked into the AC Mini foam which I clean after the dust settles. Sometimes I baste twice a day
I think if I'm persistant enough I'll lick the stuff. It's worked before on red cyano, so I'm hopeful it'll work with this time too.
Also, in the 2.5 gal, I do 50% water changes weekly or semi-weekly depending on how ticked off I am at the stuff. I'm going to do a quick basting of the rock right away. When I get back from my afternoon appointments, I'll clean the foam.
