Now known Algae - Got ID - Need Fix

I believe he got it on some live rock from someone else. I will look for the thread.

 

I found it Cheryl..."fuzz stuff" is the name of the thread.

 

Here it is.

He seems to be checking in, may be pm him and he can give the whole story.

LOL dang your quick

 

Interesting discussion/discovery...

I doubt this would work; you'd deplete the resin in a matter of minutes, plus you'd probably strip some "interesting" desirable things from the water column.

m2434 might have some ideas to remove Silicates, considering he doses them. LOL

 

Just asked him in the "fuzz stuff" thread. I figured the DI running in the filtration would be about useless. I used to run Chemipure Elite a year or two ago, and I remember it having DI resin in it, so I thought what the hell.

 

Sorry, I just wanted to comment on how awesome your mandarin looks. Looks like he's a spokesperson for the algae. Like the geico gecko. LOL

 

Thanks! He's a healthy eater too!

 

What type of mandarin is that.If it didnt have a name type already i would call it something like a jack frost.

 

There are a couple of different types of plastics used in egg crate. One was notoriously bad for leaching. I seem to remember an old thread about this from a couple years ago. How long has the eggcrate been set up.

 

It is an ORA Psychadelic (Spotted) Mandarin. He ate pellets from day one. My wife named him I-gor.

The egg crate has been set up since late July, 2010. I'm going to get a silica test kit and see what comes up. If I am high in silica, there is really nothing I can do about it short of removing the egg crate and replacing it with sheets of PVC that I can drill to accommodate plugs. I don't really want to do that. Like I said earlier, it is not harming anything, just ugly. I will continue to clean it weekly, and wait for it to go away.
