Benny Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hey folks! There is some kind of algae growing off the leaves of plants that looks exactly like a white, branching out root. I thought at first some kind of plant was growing on top of the leaves, but the algae only continued to grow. Sadly, my camera refused to focus on them, making it basically impossible to see. Light is on 11 hrs a day (the lights are lower power). Nitrates at 30 Dosing Easy Green 1.5 doses a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I'd like to have a look if you can get a shot of this. It is hard to imagine exactly what you're seeing. If you can find what you're describing here, or here, see if you can tag it with a name. There's the possibility that you're dealing with something besides algae too.

Widgets Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 My first impression would be staghorn algae. https://www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/algae-control/how-to-get-rid-of-staghorn-algae?_pos=1&_sid=de364b0c0&_ss=r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 without seeing it, staghorn would also be my first guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I would agree it looks most like staghorn. Was able to snap a picture of one of them, finally. Edited April 22, 2022 by Benny Image insertion correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
