Hello , Iv'e posted this pic before and never really got a definite id.
I started running biopellets to rid my tank of a bad ha and bubble issue. The pellets wiped out the ha and pretty much decimated the bubble. but this brown stuff took over. It was slimy and would keep coming back after intense scrubbing and siphon. I later learned I overdid it with the pellets and read that could lead to a biofilm. Today I was at my lfs and the owner has a small tank with the exact same stuff. He says it's dinnoflagellates .well my affected tank has since been taken down and the rock was well scrubbed and then put in barrels for cooking since July 4th
Do You think this cooking will kill this stuff? Should I treat it while it's in barrels. I hear that peroxide will kill it. I've never dosed any of my tank with chemicals or meds and I'm very hesitant to do so. I will if it could kill it off !
I'm concerned this stuff is very difficult to get rid of and don't ever want to see this stuff in "anybody's "tank. Thanks
