Cloudy water

Ok guys here's something strange....I found these black flakes in the tank. No idea where they came from and what they r. I got one out of the tank and it has like an algae film feel...

domination2580, I've never seen (single) black particle's like that.

No Clue: But I'm going to tag along for someone to identity it.

Is that a Fanny Pack in there with your Duncan's ? :)
 
Those are green implosion palys and it is just a black mesh bag holding Chaeto to control the nutriemts. I have two full bags of it in there

I was just had to say Fanny Pack.

Please forgive me :)
 
I'd call that "gunk" - that's a technical term :p

Not sure what that is. Was it under something? Or just laying in the bottom of the tank this morning?
 
When is the last time you opened the bag to look at the chaeto?

It was just laying there on the bottom..it surprised me...I'm still furious to what it is

domination2580,

I'm still hanging on for the ride.

Maybe someone knows what those (black / greasy) specks are and knows the cause :)
 
I just put it in like 3 or 4 days ago...
I would open it up and take a look. Vibrant can attack Chaeto and I'm not sure how much light it is getting. I had some of my chaeto turn black and start dying off when I used Vibrant but it didn't look flakey like that.
 
Wow I have absolutely no idea, I'm stumped!

Looks like thick skimmate to me!
