Ok what in the heck just happened?

[bobby]

I just did my first 5 gal water change on my 55 and had a big ball of grape culpera. I did the change then went to my bedroom to look a my 30, I was gone for maybe 5 min I go back to the dinning room and bam my water was all yellow and the culpera turned white. What in the heck happened? I took the rock the macro was on and tore it off and threw it away. Has anyone had this happen to them?

 

[bobby]

I heard they go a sexual and turn the water green, but this stuff looks like it died within a couple of minutes. Before it was kinda stiff and didnt move much in the current now it was waving everywere and looked white.

 

[bobby]

Wait sorry I got confused. I just woke up and my wife just left to the hospital because she was having pains and I'm waiting for a call. Anyway I did the water change to the 30 and put a half gal of old water in the 55 from the 30 because I wanted to bring the saltl evel up and this happened(I did the change to the 55 last night). Could it be from chemical warfare in my 30? I have no idea.

It could be Bobby.I really dont know.Keep us posted either way though.
And as a side note,Dont try to mess around with your tanks while your wifes having labor pains,lol.

i wonder if that is what happened. i dont trust any tank water in my tanks. even my own from another tank. just feel like im better safe than sorry you know what i mean?

What kinda chemical warfare do you have in your 30?

 

[bobby]

xenia, zoas, PSP shrooms, rics, cloves, and anything else that might do chemical war fare.

Yote she went to the hospital and called and said it will be a while so I wasnt in a big rush.BTW he's here 9LBS 2 OZ and a huge set of family jewels.

 

[bobby]

Oh and when I got home the water was clear as can be.

That was fast change..Check this out maybe it could help..Also Hopefully it didnt becase if so it releases spores into the tank..DFW Marine Aquarium Society :: View topic - What caulerpa prolifera looks like when 'going sexual' I hope this helps My suggestion-Water changes

 

[bobby]

I must have a different kind if thats grape miine looks like small green grapes on a vine. I had two plants in the tank and the big one turned white the little one fine still. Thanks for the link though.

 

[CrypticAnimal]

Bobby , I have the same type that you have...Ive had some go and its somewhat the same instead my cups turned white and became more like a sharp edge leaf that came to points instead of being rounded(hard to explain)..Mine looked midevil compared to the link..Good luck
