Sundog Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This is my RCS breeder tank, it's only a couple months old, and recently the driftwood has started ....... growing.......something. It's not hair algae.....it's wiry, not fluffy, it's white and it grows back pretty fast. And I think as small pieces have broken off it may be spreading. Never seen this before and can't get a suitable Google answer. I'm hoping this community can give me some assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Thanks, I think your right, I've never had to deal with this before. Surprised the shrimp didn't eat it to be honest. Time to find a shrimp safe solution. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 If it's coming from the driftwood. There may not be a final solution for a while. It's probably going to keep returning until it exhausts the food source it's using. JW would know much more than me, but it just looks like some weird bacterial bloom. It almost looks like roots coming out of the driftwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
