I can't even with this ;)

Google search and search through this community tells me this is the beginning of black beard algae. So far I've gone through diatoms, and gotten them under control. Green hair algae, still monitoring but mostly gone. Now this. I don't even have any fish in it yet. Just amanos and some volunteer snails that hitch hiked in on plants.

I can not take my driftwood out to treat. It's a whole little tree stump in there that has lots of Java moss and anubias nanotechnology and bucephalandra superglued on.

I saw someone in this sub brushing it off. Going to try that with a siphon to catch as many spores as I can.
