My new 200ltr tank was set up this weekend. In it I have a few plants (sorry don't know names, just pointed to a few in shop!!), a piece of bogwood, and a plastic - stone looking ornament.
I have on the bottom pea-shingle and some smooth black stones (brought for biorb originally).
To help things along with the cycle I have placed an old stone bridge which was with my remaining goldfish and have also been feeding the empty tank.
Lastly, I put in a frozen prawn!
Now the first thing I noticed was the prawn had a white coating over it today (day 2) so I removed it, but not before I noticed similar 'stuff' on the piece of bogwood....
... any ideas? Is it harmful? Is it easy to get rid of?
Its opaque in appearance and like a blanket - it covered the prawn completley, the bogwood seems to be underneath more!
HELP
So far no sign of amonia in tank testing daily.
Oh just remembered - I did squeeze my daughters filter in the water before replacing it - just to speed along the cycle. Her tank has been set up since beginning of December and does suffer abit from brown algae (but now moved position we're hoping this will go). Her water quality is good, and fish seem happy and calm.
