What is this in my glass?

[Miah2bzy]

I'm assuming it's algae? I have grape and fern calerp in this tank. Has not appeared until today and there's multiple spots on the glass now.

your caulerpa went sexual would be my best bet.

I was wondering if that was the case. Got a lot of calerp to clean out today.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

do you have a tang? It would help clean up the tank. I'd be sure to prune the sump regularly too. what is it's light cycle?

+1 to light cycle you should have it set to 18 on 6 off

No tang, it's my 30L.

Why the longer photo period? Right now it's set to come on at 10 and off at 6.

Longer photo period keeps it from going sexual

 

[sethsolomon]

Because a longer photo period makes it less likely to go sexual

Think of a jr high dance. The girls stay away from the boys if the lights are on.
Or for adults... No time to light the candles, drink a glass or two of wine and turn on the Barry White. Haha

Don't answer that.

At least we don't need prune juice yet. Lol

IKR?? It definitely could be worse.

That still won't do the trick (I know from experience). Needs to be on 24 hours at least for grape caulerpa. Not sure about other kinds. Honestly, I would just switch to cheato. Caulerpa can go sexual after a long power outage (3+ hours) regardless of how long lights are on for

I've led a very sheltered life.

I was going to post later tonight that I was surprised Cindy had nothing to say...lol
