Hi. I have had this fungus type growth on my live rocks for about 6 months. It grows quite strongly, and is bright red. When you grab it, it pops so tough to pull off. It doesn't seem to be a problem, but I'm very curious what it is.

In this 30cm by 30cm tank I have only sexy shrimp, some mushrooms, 1 x flaming prawn goby, and a lot of atipasia... Please let me know your ID. Thanks!

Thanks. Snoop. Yeah, it looks nice under the LED, but really makes me wonder. I'm mostly concerned to use the same cleaning tools and "pass" it into one of my other tanks.

Thanks, Admiraltian and all. Read a bit about it online and basically seems like a safe, non-sexual macro-algae. Should be good for the tank, and I may just let it go into the others as well.

Xiggie, sure if you're around Holland V, just let me know and we can scrape some into a baggie. basically, it's soft and in bunches, so tough to break off any piece to be honest.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
