Well, what is it? After 2-3 days it thorughly covers the suction cups, and is easily wiped off. After a couple more days, I can see the stuff starting to settle on my plant leaves...but it readily shaken off. My cory's seem to eat it, or they just displace it into the substrate.


I have an Eciplse 3, heated at 79F. I use RO water, pH is at 7.1, ammonia and nitrates come up nil. The tank is established, and has been doing this for a while now. It's rather annoying to say the least.

Hi,
This sounds like a "normal" bacteria growth in a tank.
Just continue to clean them off, and while doing
regular water changes, syphon off the stuff from
the plants.
