My morning mess....

[Myka]

My Grape Caulerpa did the same thing yesterday. It had pretty much taken over my nano (poor tank has been ignored for a few months), and I stole the heater from the tank overnight when I broke another one so the temp dropped 4 degrees. That's enough for the Caulerpa to have sexy time. The Zoas were all shriveled up, the fish had clamped fins and were hiding, it looked like someone poured milk in the tank. It was actually quite foggy seeing as the tank is so small. I did a 50% waterchange, no carbon, fish were happy by the afternoon. Today it's clear and the Zoas are most of the way happy again.

Good to hear that your tank is on the rebound today. It was certainly not what i expected to be dealing with this morning, thats for sure. The two fish in my tank seem ok at this point, fingers crossed. Did you remove all of the caulerpa from your tank?

Yes I removed as much Caulerpa as I could peel off as I was finally forced into giving the tank some attention. Kien, I'm not growing it on purpose...it went rampant in my nano. The nano's been a mess for 6 months.

I was expecting it to happen, but hoping it wouldn't because I had better things to do.
