Green stuff on my LR

gomab14 · 09/17/2006, 06:58 PM

I just recently purchased a Current T-5 216 watt light system for my 100gallon FOWLR, since then I have noticed green stuff forming on my rocks. Can someone please tell me what this is and how to get rid of it.

Pics would help. I would guess it to be hair algae. Reduce nitrates and get a clraning crew. What are you params?

Probably cyano or hair algae. Do you run a wet/dry on your fowlr? Get rid of nutrient sink - bioballs, filterpads, etc... Are you running RO/DI water?
