Slime on macroalgae

[Docdiggy]

Anyone know what this is? I just started this reactor, but had a hiccup and the water temp may have fallen to 70 one night. Normal stuff or something to worry about? It is a mix of macro. The cheato looks fine, but whatever the other stuff is has this crap.

Green slime algae. Yuk! Smelly.

 

[Docdiggy]

Is that what you would consider it?

 

[Big G]

Yep. The bubbles would suggest "green" cyano.

 

[Docdiggy]

Let it grow or clean it out?

 

[Big G]

Clean it out. It will cover your good macro algae and prevent light from getting to it.

clean it.
