Fluffy stuffs

[Mickie]

I've got grey fluffies underneath one of my live rock. What are some of your ways to remove it? It seems that's just the way my water flows.

I do not have a gravel cleaner and between my arm length and my big ole pregnant belly, I can't reach well to the bottom.

Ideas?

Tia!

Photo?

without a photo it might be difficult to identify but a shot in the dark based on the description and location, maybe a sponge?

Do they look like this?

 

[Mickie]

Nah. It's detritus type stuff. Just old crap either food/poo etc that settles. It blows off using my power head if I point it down.

I'm out and about, so I can't send a pic at the moment. Definitely not a living organism is anything. Sorta like a build up of dust.

Can you blow it off with a turkey baster?

Affirm. Would suspending it in the tank by blasting it be bad?

no. sends it to the filters.

One would hope that it gets picked up by your export/ Filtration method by being suspended.

 

[Mickie]

Awesome, thanks! I'll do that.

I believe it is a sponge

I had it too, used NoPox to get rid of it when my system was new. Check you nitrates and phosphates
