I’ve joined a few unpleasant clubs in the past month. First was the “My canister filter cracked and leaked a couple gallons of saltwater onto the floor and the ceiling below” club. Then I joined the “My favorite hammer is being eaten by a fireworm I didn’t know I had” club. And today I get to join the Dino club.
I converted a video to GIF because I can’t access YouTube at the moment.
I’ve read a bit about how to fight them, but any advice specific to these types? Tank params are:
NO3: 7.4
PO4: 0.02
Alk: 8.7
Cal: 435
I’ve ordered some NeoPhos (will be here tomorrow) to try and get the PO4 up a bit more to target the 10/0.1 ratio, but outside of that, anything else I should be doing? I’ve only got them lightly right now and want to stay ahead of it to prevent it becoming a bigger problem. It mainly seems to have started after I manually remove a good bit of hair algae with forceps this past week. So maybe I mistakenly removed too much of its competition. In the mean time, I’m trying to syphon the stringy bits with a baster.
Thanks in advance.
