SRC Member Elune Posted January 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2006 Can someone tell me what is this white stuff over my live rock?? It look like "say-kor" (fungus) growing... Why is this happening? And is it good or bad? What immediate action should i take or just wait out and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Maxstar81 Posted January 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2006 Is it whitish grey !? If yes, Maybe haven't cure properly. Can take a used tooth brush & scrub it off. Throw the tooth brush after use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO , dun really need to do anything , just scrub the whitishish stuff off and that's it . let the filter clean out the stuff . ur ammonia should be sky roketing , that's why all stuff are dying . dun thro away the live rock to the flowerpot , proper curing will regain it's glory. change water will result in the same outcome because the rock is still rotting because many organism are dying , just scrub off the rotting part and circulate the water well.
