A picture would be very helpful! It could possibly be algae.

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket this is it.

this just goes to photobuckets main web page. you can highlight one of the links and copy paste (i think its img code) and it will post a pic on here.

sounds like you just have some algae growth in their. how often do you clean your filters out?

Dandre, I find the easiest way to post a picture is just click the >go advanced< button when you start a reply - then click the paperclip icon for attaching an image.
As long as it isn't more than 50KB, I believe, it will load.

Post is showing up blank. But what you're describing sounds like an algae buildup to me.

does your filter have a blue comb looking thingy on the front? if so those are bacteria colonies living there for the health of your fishes. Do not scrape them off, do not hurt them, they are keeping your fishes happy and healthy. Good bacteria are our friends in the world of fish tanks.

Dandre, try saving your pics as a jpeg under 50KB. Then try to post again. For this and other threads
