What's happening! Blue-green stuff is beginning to coat surfaces. Its showing up in the gravel, the glass, on top of coral, barnacle and other ornaments. Just bought some more plants and some Flourish. Added just a little Flourish because I read that it encouraged algae growth. This stuff starts out looking like a blue-green stain, heavy on the blue, but is very quickly becoming fuzzy. Can't have bottom feeders or snails because I've got some puffers in the tank. Ammonia levels are good. Don't know about nitrates and nitrites.
Any ideas on what this stuff is and how to get rid of it? I like nipping stuff in the bud.
100 gal tank (used to be salt water tank, still has some of the ornaments from that time in it).
2 ryukins (3")
2 figure 8 puffers (2")
1 angelfish
assorment of Java fern, wisteria, swords and grass (11 plants in all, still in the establishing stage).
