Hello All!
I am new to the hobby and I have had my 40 gallon setup for about 110 days now. A little over a week ago, my hair algae pretty much disappeared over night. It was amazing. I had just put a yellow tang in, and was like whoa! how did he eat all that so quick?
Anyways, On point. There is a yellow/green/grey "dust-like" particulate that has formed over my liverock and substrate. I did a vacuum and a 50% water change today, and 4 hours later it was all back.
Any help identifying it and suggestions on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.:idea:
Let me know if there is anything else that would help in determination.
THANKS! I LOVE THIS SITE!:lolspin:
