I need help with an “algae” (not sure it’s actually an algae) in my moss tank. It is a 29 gallon low tech tank that has been established for about a year. There are some snails and about 15 small gold tetras in the tank.
The ammonia and nitrite are 0. The nitrates are between 10-20ppm. Ph is ~7.4.
This white “algae” grows on the underside of the manzanita where it is shaded from light, it seems non-photosynthetic. It is absolutely white. It it not fuzzy like a typical fungi or mold. It looks like staghorn but it is COMPLETELY white. It scrapes off easily, but grows back full in a week. I’ve only had very little success using excel directly on it or spot treating with hydrogen peroxide. Any help identifying the issue and suggestions for treatment would be very helpful.
