I use Ro/Di system installed that I use for all my tanks minus the goldfish tank and I use API master testing kit. I didn't get any pictures today while it was in the water because it was an after-thought and I don't have pictures of what it originally was in the other tank because it legit just looked like algae on camera. But it didn't scratch or siphon off and was incredibly hard to siphon off. It looked like black algae. If it didn't dry up I can get pictures of it on the dry rock tmrw. I do have a picture of what it did to the shrimp thought. I mean- I don't know what shrimp look like after death but it seemed odd to me that it bloated and turned black. You can kind of see the black spots in this picture.This wierd stuff you mention - Any Pics ?
Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet?
What test kits are you using ?
