Still Got Live Rock Problem

[francesanna]

I wrote a while ago about my live rock bieng covered with long brown furry stuff, all my rock is covered with it.

I have added a powerhead which has stopped the build up of the brown gunge on my tank glass, that has solved that problem, but how do I get rid of this stuff on my live rock.

96Ltr Tank

Parameters are:

PH 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40

Salinity 0.024

I had an awful lot of air bubbles but this seems to have also passed now.

Can anyone tell me if and how to get rid of this stuff, the tank is completely colourless because of this.

I have no fish in there as yet.

It has been established for around 4 months

Thanks In Advance

Could be dinoflagellates or just plain cyano. Post a pic. Also check your salinity. Could be you just put a 0 instead of a 1?

sounds like diatoms to me, means the tank is maturing

I had brown slime on the liverock in my 20 gallon when I first set it up.
what really helped was a big water change a big skimmer and
a clean up crew. It looked like the hermit crabs did most of the cleaning. And I think the regular calcuim I used helped keep it from coming back

Hope this helps

I had some, the snails cleaned it up for me in a week or so.
