Not entirely sure what this is - so wasn't too sure which thing to post this in, to be completely honest! These are pics from my best friends tank (her and I have grown together in this hobby - literally from the start of *my* obsession 4 years ago to now - and I'm at a total loss here) First pic was from 7 weeks ago - a green algae can clearly be seen beginning to grow on the substrate and rock (rock = bottom right front corner). Before the next pics - here is tank info & parameters and whatnot :: ~ 45 gallon tank ~ has been running and cycled over a year now ~ •temp 76°F •pH 7.6 •ammonia 0 •nitrite 0 •nitrate about 40 •phosphate btwn 0 - 0.25 •dGH 19° Tank inhabitants : •10 or 13 Neon Tetras •1 Molly •3 Guppies •1 Platy Tank is fed every other day (sometimes 2 days in btwn) 15 - 25% weekly water changes (more if necessary) Had started planting the tank before this mess, and had a few aponogeton plants, small piece of spider wood with java moss and anubias coffeefolia, and a bunch of small windelov java ferns, some small val plants and one or two other "root feeders" - so started to do less "deep" gravel vac'ing so the plants roots could expand and settle. Well..here's the mess! There was 2 weeks in the time between when the first pic was taken and now, when grav vac was not done at all but water changes still were done. And the sponge filters were both/all taken out and cleaned a week after the first pic. So, my fellow #nerms - what the HECK is going on!? Help! PLEASE!!?
