Pawz Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I have just looked at the gravel in one of my ta nks. Its got a very fine white mould growing. What do i do? Clean it out and start again? It has guppies, swords and a bristlenose. Is there a chemical i can put in it to clear it up. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks Ainz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Ainz, Are you sure this is Mould??? :roll: :roll: :roll: If it is, I would do a good water change with a good Vaccum at the same time, maybe you could devide the tank up into sections and vaccum a section every second day untill u have gone over the whole tank. Good Luck :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Im pretty sure. Its very fine white dusting. All over the gravel and slowly starting to go up the glass. Ainz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Do you use the product pH Up, or Down, by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yes i have both of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 If you have put either of them in the tank they will (IME) form a mould-like fluff on the substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 How often do you use these products Ainz???? How often do u do water changes??? Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 no i havent put anything in the ysank. I can olny think of over feeding them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 If you are overfeeding it will sink to the bottom and the uneaten food will go mouldy. Siphon it all out immediately, do a partial water change and stop feeding so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
