Sorry for the crappy pics my sister has my camera and macro lenses so this is the best shots I could get from my iphone

Sweet that was quick! How do I get rid of it?

 

[Aquadiva]

Hopefully, it is just on the powerheads.... pull them out... dunk in bleach... clean well.. Nasty stuff..

I think Cindy (flighty) had something (fish) that ate it. Maybe a foxface??? I just had to keep scrubbing and sucking it out. I had it on my overflow...

 

[TheBigBadReefer]

Its on some of the rocks as well I been scrubing it off but it comes back, so I was hoping there was some type of natural method of getting rid of it. I'll look into the foxface thank you

Drop Cindy a PM.... I know she had a fish that ate it, but I don't remember which one...

I got rid of mine by just determination. It was on the teeth of the overflow. I would scrub it and then it would flow into a filter sock. I would scrub it every day or two...

naso tangs will eat it if you have enough room for one.

I have a 75 gal, I dont think its enough room for a naso, I read that scribbled rabbit fish will eat it also, that might be a bit better?

I had the red version and it is nasty stuff. I used a naso tang and a scribbled rabbitfish to get rid of it. I got them both small and re-homed them after the algae was gone.
