Hey fellas, I’ve attached a video..sorry if it’s a little shaky..I’ve been dealing with this strain on and off throughout the last year..I’ve finally got it under a microscope to ID it and hopefully figure out a permanent remedy to keeping it away.
i don’t know exactly what I do to make it vanish, I just kinda does..I’m thinking it’s possibly Ostreopsis since it does get quite long strands and lots of air bubbles..not overly affected by UV light and doesn’t seem to get more aggressive with water changes..I’ve dosed nutrients which doesn’t seem to kill it either…here’s the kicker though, it’s only in my frag tank that’s attached to my display (same system) but doesn’t grabbed to my display tank, it only likes hanging out on egg crate in the frag tank.
It comes and goes, I figured maybe eggcrate leeching something that promotes it but I’m not entirely sure!
let me know your thoughts!
