Bit worried now as things seem fine..........maybe too fine !!!

quite likely you've got a critter that just spawned; if so, that's a Good Thing. Means your conditions are good enough to allow growth. I suppose there may be other sources for the stuff, but that seems the most likely to me

Any other ideas ?

Is there something that you're not telling us. If so that is cruelty to animals.

Got any pics?

Paul Davies · 02/25/2007, 05:20 PM

he eh.........no pics as it didnt last for long, it squirted out of some live rock, i couldnt see where.

I was at my computer earlier and looked over at the tank to see it had turned completely cloudy. One of the power heads had fallen nose down in the sand and well, you can guess the rest!
