ID This - spongy white sack

kash37 · 05/15/2010, 08:53 PM

First - I am very new to this. I have a JBJ28. Day 8 of cycling. I have this spongy white translucent sack on the underside of a ledge. I am sure it gre very quickly. Its about 1.5 inch in lenght and 1/2 inch wide.

Note, I got the LR from someone who was shutting down there tank, so when I picked it up it was in a LR only tank with the pumps going for about two weeks. Zereo ammonia and some Nitrates only so far. Have not done a water change.

Is it good, or bad at this stage in the cycle.

Here is a pic

Picture is out of focus. Probably a harmless hitch hiker. Is it moving?

Flat tire?

my best guess would be the beginnings of a sponge
if you start to see little tubes and openings, then it most likely is a sponge...but cant see any of that in the pic yet.

Not moving. However - this morning, it looks like it burst. Just the remanats of the "skin" was left on the rocks. I guess noting to worry about. Thanks for the quick response.

I will have to read up taking pics.
