Brown Algae?
Hey---
My rockwork is about 85% + coraline alge. But about 10% has a rusty colored alge covering. It scrapes off relatively easily. I didnt think it was diatoms because when I get diatoms on the gravel it usually goes away by itself in a few days. This stuff isnt budging. Does anyone know what it might be and what I can do to get rid of it? I cant really scrape it off without disturbing the rockwork. thanks again........

Oh no !
Quick, get the bleach and kill it before it destroys your tank! hehe Can you give us a description of what it's like? Don't feel like you have to get 100% coverage of coraline algae.

.. . Ummmmmm yea :-) LOL Snip Don't feel like you have to get 100% coverage of coraline algae. Should I take from your reply that this brown stuff is fairly common and normal? I`m 8 months in.... but it`s still my first walk `round the block. The tank is going pretty well (I think)...... So if a little brown stuff is normal I wont lose sleep getting rid of it. thanks again..........

It's definitely not something to loose sleep over.
If you can give us a better description, we can fill you in on it. Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets StringerBell wrote on 6/3/2007 10:11 PM: "Wayne Sallee" wrote in message .. .
