Wierd stuff...


Okay...this is odd. My skunk cleaner shrimp lokks like he is *covered* with brown algae! Like diatom algae...he's a dirty brown all over, not solid...but definately noticable. He's acting normal though...has anybody ever heard of this before?

Wow that is wierd, I have snails and crabs sporting coralline coats but not diatoms.
BTW Niagra Falls is alive and well in my living room. I have some noise problems to deal with but the changeover is pretty complete, all I have to do is get the chance to jam up there and we can set your sump up

Hey Raz!

Bummer on the algae coating on your shrimp
Last summer when I was first starting out one of my hermits had a coating like you described. Sorta gave it a Farah Faucette look. Shivver After a while it disappeared.

Doug- are you ready to set up a hydro-electric power station from your tank?
You could sell it to California
