Hiya! Yep, I'm new here. I tried searching the net for my current predicament, but no luck, so I'm hoping someone might lend some insight.
So I took out this plastic plant on Monday, wiped off the brown algae, put it back, and now today (wednesday) there was this huge white blob, of goodness knows what. Here is the best I could get:
I "fished" it out, and this was the best closeup I coudl get, it was about the size of my pinky nail (think small female).
All those fuzzies were individual micro hairs of individual little white lumps. Artist rendition :
When I disturbed it, it seemed to let out some greasy bubbles, which seems odd since I don't know where it could have accumulated from.
There are smaller chunks growing on other leaves.
The fish seem fine.
Some background: weekly 20% water changes with a small pinch of non-iodized sea salt (from my kitchen)
Last watercheck at Petco said "all good"
The tank has cycled since January
The only change I have done since Monday was add the marimo balls. Prior to adding, those sat in quarantine for a week+ in lightly salted water in case they had anything...
Anyways, advice? suggestions? Experience?
If the pics are too big, sorry! I have a big screen
