clear fungus/bacteria
I have read all of the post about this and the description matches what I have. but I have yet to see a picture of it like mine. It is clear about a 1/4" long covers the under side of of the rock and low light areas, it also grows in the over flow, however, I do not see it on the sand. That may be because I stir and vacuum the sand bed every water change. To best describe how it reacts to the current and its consistency, It resembles grass in a field swaying with the breeze. It is very hard to get a good picture of it. If you look at the haze or clear outline to the rocks you will see it. it is also prominent in the hole of the lower rock. the rock is all dry rock from BRS that i cured for 2.5 months prior to placing in this tank. I first noticed it about a month after placing in this NEW tank. I also used dry sand. I did not use anything from an established aquarium.
Of course i just recently battled a bad cyano outbreak which i have done 10 25% water changes and this stuff was not affected. I still have a minor phosphate problem. No cyano but green glass algae that needs to be cleaned every few days. I use RO/DI water for top off and water changes. It just baffles me. here is a pic
