    What is this and do I need to worry..

    Before I scraped it from the aquarium glass. It looked like it was growing up and out in all directions with the eggs or whatever they are. I have no snails in tank, but bladder snails are in the sump. I thought this might be some type of fungus.

    This is showing up everywhere in my tank. On the glass, rocks, plants and driftwood. I scraped it off the glass but comes back. Thinking about removing gravel but not sure after that.

    Need suggestions for lights on a 300 gallon planted tank.

    Hello and thanks for the advice in advance.

    I am home now and beginning the freshwater build. I purchased the API kit to test GH and KH. However I have added over 30 drops and it never changes color from blue. Could the kit be bad. It is not expired. I have tried testing several times over different days.

    Hello and thanks for the advice in advance.

    There is no water softener used. I have RO unit that was used for the saltwater tank. Will that help in any way with the high PH.
