Long story......
I have two clowns that love to eat (I've never seen fish eat like this) so I knew I was in an overfeeding situation, but (thought) I held it in check with maintance.
I bought some Macros (wont say where) mainly for the pods. I usually rinse macros in new SW then disgard the water, but since I needed the pods, I didn't this time. Big mistake!
The day after I put the macro in my refugium, I noticed this stringy algae type substance appearing everywhere in the refugium. I wiped it off knowing little could be done at that point. Now a few days later, it is speading like wildfire in my DT.
It's brown, stringy and almost looks like cobwebs. It loosely attaches to everything, although it can be blown away using a turkey baster. Seems that once it is dettached from a surface, it doesn't reattach, but doesn't die either.
I've done a huge water change, also I've been diatoming since yesterday and trying to keep as much of the stuff in the water colume as possible for the filter to pick up by occasionally directing a powerhead over the rock pile and substrate.
I don't mention where I got the macro from as its presence might only be coincodental to the appearance of this stuff ( that I've never seen before), as I have a couple of issues going on. I have a overfeeding situation, plus with the season change, I'm getting much more sunlight than say a month ago due to the sun being lower in the sky.
Was thinking Chemi-Clean would help clear this up, but cant find it locally. I've researched the product well, plus Danny B. gives it his seal of approval.
I've seen simarlar "blooms" to this, and thinking it might run its coarse, but thought I'd try Chemi-Clean to clean it up, and the added benefit of cleaner water.
Anybody got this product on hand that I could purchase from you? I need to treat appr. 90 gallons.
Thank you!
