OK, got not much response first time around...trying again..
This stuff grows in the dark and "burns off" under MH during the day. Recently, it started "blooming" on my filter socks, so it is obviously not getting any better.... BTW...I change my fitler sock daily, and give it a good washing in Hot, hot water...then let it dry.
This stuff is not slimy...it grows in little balls..It has a hairy texture to it, although it never gets long. The stuff growing on the sand "waves" in the current, so, I don't think it is a flow issue.
So..
75 AGARR, 75 rubbermaid sump, 29Gal Refugium, Southdown sand, ASM G-4 skimmer...running carbon...
SG..1.025
PH..8.1-8.2
Temp 80
CAL 435
Alk 9.9 dkh
Phos registers 0
amm 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
So...is it a cyno, dino, really don't think diatoms....a type of reddish brown hair algae....
Ohyea...nothing seems to touch in including turbos, and fighting conch. ARRRRRRRRGG!!!!
Thoughts???
