Been creeping around

Farmreefer711 · Aug 29, 2016

Hello R2R, I have been creeping around the forms for the last 8-9 months and i figured i would finally introduce myself and my tank.

This is my second fish tank, first saltwater. I had a planted fresh water tank for about 7 years with varying degrees of success.

Last November I was "lucky" enough to kind of inherent a 150g bow front reef ready tank with duel overflows. I had no idea what I was getting in to. But thanks to this forum I have been able to be pretty successful with this new hobby of mine.

Here is my setup with pics of my diy basement sump:

The main reason I am finally making an introductory post is that i have a question.

My frogspawn coral has some funny looking white stringy things that appear to be growing and i wanted to see if anyone has any idea what it is and if i should be concerned . Sorry about the bad cell pics.

Looking good! Welcome to R2R!

Looks like it could be a little hair algae on your frogspawn.

Welcome to R2R! I'm not sure what kind of algae that is, but it looks like a fur coat.

I'm sure somebody on the [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] will know

*Welcome officially to Reef2Reef @Farmreefer711 !* Your system looks awesome.I like your stand and light fixtures.Great looking sump too! It looks like you have a combination of hair algae and spaghetti worms growing on the Frog spawn.

Welcome to R2R!
Hair algae only on the frogspawn? Hmm....I'm not sure that's hair algae, but it's kind of hard to see as well.

Edit: I can kinda see the hair algae now. But is it just on the frogspawn?
