Weird Growth In Tank
Hey hey,

Got some weird new growth thing going on it looks a bit like a bulb of air? not bubble algae but it's squishy and comes off if i spray it with turkey baster.

Anyone know what it is? Should i be worried or actively trying to remove it? Most things I've ended up having sort themselves out but always best to ask

Cheers

Nah dont bother.. it will disappear on its own. I had the same thing..not sure if it some funky form of cyano or not but it disappears on its own. I am guessing your tank is fairly new

It could pass over time but it might also mean that you don't have enough flow in the area's affected - the detritus settles on the rock which is a great place for the cyno to take hold.

Yea figured it was a weird type of cyano looks very similar, could be flow because the powerheads are getting covered in more corraline than i've ever had in my tank before so at least that means my water params are a bit more stable than in the past :)

I'll give them a clean over the weekend and hope it passes

Thanks :)
