Solstice_Lacer Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 At first I thought it was just some loose duckweed floating around after feeding or adding water. But it has turned into more of snow globe effect. I also noticed some at the surface that looks like extra tiny duckweed. It's not in my other tank that has duckweed. It doesn't seem to bother any of the tank occupants. So what is it? And should I worry about it or let it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this one you have a culture of on your journal? On 2/11/2023 at 10:45 AM, Solstice_Lacer said: Should I look into a diatom filter or a UV sterilizer? Most of that stuff is food, not necessarily. Once green water is cleared up you will see them crash, so you'd want to be aware of a ammonia spike or something maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 As long as it's not dangerous or an indicator of something dangerous I don't particularly mind it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a microalgae the forms colonies that look like spheres floating around the water. I've never grown any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
