    Ok everyone... it's been a long time for me, been really busy with work and the tanks. I had to do some reconstruction to my 20L that has been running for about a year and a hlaf now, not much in just yet really taking my time with it. I noticed a huge amount of what im thinking is pink sponge?? i had orange spong that came in on LR that i brought when i sent the tank up, but thats all gone (oh the joys of cycling! :angry:). My question is, Is it safe??? , i didn't pull it out the tank when I was remodeling so there was no air contact, so i dont think its going to make the tank go crazy again.

    Specs of the tank right now...

    SG - 1.021
    76-79 degrees
    no nits nats or amo
    40-45 lbs LR
    40lbs LS
    skimmer, fuge, blah blah blah LOL
    saddle back, damsel, 2 PJs, orange spot goby, herms, snails
    and I just added two small shroom
    t5-HO double bulb 10K and blue ant.
    powerhead and a hang on filter just in case.

    Please help ....... .... .. .. .

    I'mfreaking out here, now I just found som more, this time is a yellowish green. I know some sponges are good for that "extra" filter feeding aspect, but should I be worried?

    I know its a newbie thing, but dont freak out every time you see something new. If its a sponge, it can only be good.
