looks like cyano to me, flagellets look like snot with bubbles, cyano is more like a velvet sweater

Well I guess a cycle is the time to get it, though its going to be a pain in the butt to get rid of. :( All lights are out. If I am remembering correctly that is the best way to rid of it.

You can use a turkey baster to blow it off the rocks then suck it up.

I'll have to see what I can do this evening. I won't have time at lunch since that is when I do the general maintenance.

Okay I went to do a little cyano blasting and at the first blast it looked dusty not slimy at all.

Here is a little vid. Sorry about the white balance. Sorry about the Star Trek in the background.

You are apologizing for Star Trek in the background?


For your goo, add some snails or crabs (hermits or an emerald crab) and increase your flow.

Actually I moved the powerhead so its hitting the rocks more. I am going to try and get another PH this weekend (have to wait for payday). I can't add a CUC yet because I am still registering Nitrites right now (between .25 and 0), though the Ammonia is now at 0. I also still am sitting at 20 for the Nitrates. I was planning on ordering the CUC from reefcleaners tomorrow if my Nitrites are gone when I test at lunch today. That or run over to Petco and pick some up from them, though they are about 3 times as expensive the John.

And yes I am a Star Trek fan...so go ahead and call me a nerd or geek. I am one and proud of it. :lol:
