Ok so this ones got me stumped! Lol [emoji23]
So I set up this tank and it was very dirty so I filled it with vinegar and just plain tap water to clean it out. Its a 125 gallon acrylic tank and a 50 gallon acrylic sump. It's been running for about 2 weeks . Every so often I'd add another 5 gallons or so of tap water for evaporation.
The tank is heated , no skimmer running, just the main pump and powerhead just to circulate.
It does have filter socks on it to catch all the nasty debris .
So I come home today and I find this! My tank looks like it's filled with diluted orange kool aid.
Also I see some big globs of orange fluffy stuff on my powerhead and some random fluff floating around. The filter socks were jammed full of this same fluffy stuff.
What is it?? [emoji848]
