greenfootball Fish Addict Posts: 613 Kudos: 360 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jul-2001	Edited by greenfootball so the moss i attached to my driftwood about a month back has settled and i removed the lead weight pieces, its looking good. one thing i noticed is kinda weird is that at the bottom portion of each string of the moss there is some kind of algae?? i am not sure if they are algae or what but they are brown, and looked like miniature black brush algae. because they are so tiny i am not even sure if they are brush algae in miniature form??? take a look at the picture see if anyone can tell me what the brown stuff are?? thanks in advance http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o228/greenfootball/IMG_0013.jpg
