FLFishChik Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This started popping up on my Spider wood (just as I am getting the diatom algae under control). Is this BBA? How should I handle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I mean.... it doesn't look like the stuff in my tank, but it's definitely similar in fuzz density. Do you see anything elsewhere? That brown coloration is typical of a bacterial bloom and I usually find them in the filter. If you have that in the tank, I would check the pump, HOB basket, etc. and just make sure stuff isn't clogged with slime. A chunk might've broken off and gotten stuck on the wood, or it's just some sort of "something" that grows on the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t anywhere else in the tank and I just cleaned the HOB filter Saturday… and it wasn’t in there. Maybe it just “wood gunk” 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
