Hey all,
This is a new tank setup with cured dried rock. I’m looking to identify this grayish white kind of fuzzy layer growing on my rocks. It almost looks like it would shed off. I can post water parameters if/when needed. I’m wondering what I can do to keep this in check.
It doesn’t seem snotty enough to be diatoms. Bacteria bloom? Algae? I added bagged “live” sand when the tank was setup a week ago. Rock and media was cured and cycled. The silicates could have caused this.
Here is a short video with and without lights on:
