On a few of my live rocks in my 90g , a black coating with some bubbles has formed. Fish and corals are healthy. Some green filamentous algae grows on glass over a week.
Have a 30 g fuge with macro algae - harvest every couple weeks. This black coating appears to have wiped out anything else on that portion of the rock.
Lighting is MH and actinincs - on about 9 hours daily.
I used some maracyn a few weeks ago in the fuge to remove some red cyano and I wonder if this has had some competitive effect with good bacteria.
Anyone have ideas of what it is and how to remove?
