Hi. I have been trawling the Internet and can't find any pictures or answers on forums about this stuff.
I have found numerous posts of people describing the same stuff, but nobody ever seems to come up with a deffinative answer!
It is white Feathery Stuff that sticks to the glass in places but mostly grows on the sand and plants. It affects both my tanks when I am a bit lax on the vleaning schedule but it tskes hold quickly.
It always starts in areas that are sheltered from the strongest water flow and it is hard to remove as it sinks fast once scraped up and my gravel vaccine breaks it up but can't then suck it up!
I have photos but don't know how to post them here!
Any help much appreciated.
Tanks are otherwise healthy. Clean out every 1 to 2 weeks. Both tanks are over filtered and under stocked. Fish are healthy and we just found a baby Julii Cory has managed to survive and grow to a decent size in a community tank with 4 Adult Julii Cory, 5 banded Barbs, Otto's Tetra and a pair of Rams.
