red/brown "algae"?
I Just started up the cycling process on a new tank and added plants
and a few giant danios. The plants: anubias barteri anubias nana anubia coffeefolia java fern crinum thaianum In the past 4-5 days there has a been a bunch of growth of brownish/deep-reddish looking algae, mostly coating the anubias leaves. They look like s^&*. The crinums are the least affected, almost none at all. This is a hard water tank in CA (being prepped for malawi's). Any advice on what to do? Wait it out? Watch them die? Add something? THANKS!!! -- Remove NOSPAM to reply. |

I think I have the same problem.
Do the leaves just look brown? like the plant turned brown, but there is like little fury growth on the roots ? What do we do? "Jim Wunderlich" wrote in message ...

What do we do? yes, brown stuff on the leaves with some furry stuff on the rhizomes. BTW, I have a 40 gallon tank with 40 watts of flourescent, 12 hours per day. I forgot to mention that! -- Remove NOSPAM to reply. |
