Very cool. Is that cyano growing out of green algae?

Sample three was mostly green stuff.

Samples 1 and 2 are the black stuff... the real mystery organisms.

This is what I believe to be a type of cyano but haven't seen it in my system. A lot more of it in the other samples.

Sometimes the pictures look out of focus but if you look around you'll see what I was focusing on.
In this case it was the spirochete bacteria. They are pretty cool.

Can we have a little webinar where you go through what's what?

So much visual input - so little knowledge in my tiny head to know what I'm looking at.

It's beautiful

There is one more video but looks like it failed to upload. I'll work on that once the black mat pictures and videos are up.

It would be wrapping around it. I want to come back to those samples when I can but wont be for a couple weeks most likely.

Do you have any red algae like gracilaria

Oh, I did those too. Still trying to get Sample 1 black mat uploaded. The overflow is uploaded and going to get those posted here soon.

I just can't believe that that black hair that tenaciously stands up to the water flow is actually bacteria... and why black?

it only grows as a mat by physically spreading on rock - so rocks that are close can get infected, but those on the opposite side of the tank don't have any.

it also comes off clean from the rock (no roots inside the rock) - come out in a solid section if I'm careful... not bacteria-like at all.

More like a fungus ...

vibrio as in the flesh rotting bacteria!!!?? I thought that only infected people, not tanks.



Is that the little curved wormy things? I didn't see it in sample 3? just in the overflow samples?

is that a worm eating pink coralline or gracillaria? I probably have some gracillaria but nothing I can see in the tank. My scrubber grows all kinds of algae and life... buy NONE of the black mat fuzz (BMF) got there.

I feel like a newborn seeing for the first time and I have no idea what to make of it.
