I purchased this 2 days ago and got it into my nano (24 g Nano Cube). It has since deteriorated to such an extent that there is virtually nothing left!

Ph 8.3
Kh 15dKh
NO2 0mg/l
NO3 100mg/l
Temp 24c

Haven't checked PO4, Ca, Silicates etc yet!!!

What do you guys think the problem is???

HA Ha ha.....My Bad!!!!
 
Hi Pope - that looks like some type of Macro Algae?

Some macro algae's require very specific water qualities..... This does not look like your "run-of-the-mill" caulerpa or some of the other nuisance algaes.......
 
What is it supposed to be? Looks like some form of macroalgae.
 
Now - with the bigger picture, it looks like a halimeda macro algae...

Did you purchase this? If so - very strange!

Very few people get these macro algaes to grow successfully...... I do know that they need quite high calcium, as well as magnesium levels - as well as EXTREMELY PRISTINE water conditions....
 
My invoice says caulerpa. So macro algae, yes.

I didn't know that the Ca & Mg levels needed to be high!

Anything else you guys know about this stuff
 
Looks like ulva to me
