Good morning everyone,
Over the last few months I have been getting this mucus like growth on my live rock on the surfaces that get direct light. I siphon if off and have been doing a 10% water change weekly but I have seen no improvement. It is grayish brown in color with bubbles (I assume oxygen) during the brightest part of the day. The tank gets no direct light from any windows, just LEDs (80% blues and violets, 45% white, 20% green, red, and UV). My nitrates and Phosphates have read 0.0 ppm. Other parameters are good: pH 8.0, Alk 7.7, mg 1170 ppm.
Can anyone ID the growth and any recommendations for controlling it?
Much appreciated!
