Growth on Zoas

[Smacks21294]

Anyone know how to handle this growth on zoas plugs. Think it maybe some type of sponge. I already doubled the flow and blow off 2xs a week with turkey baster. It keeps coming back.

Looks like mulm or algae. See if it dislodges with gentle bursts from a turkey baster

It does dislodge but grows back in a day or two

Are you running UV? I had something similar in the past and a 3 day black out + UV did the trick

Yes uv connected. I'll try the blackout

Increase the water flow towards them - not at them. Appears to be mulm. UV wont help with this
