    gee, found these thin-tissue-paper-looking white stuff on my plants, like webs around my plants. tank's still running with no fish.

    what's that, from where?

    tks!

    got my latest plant from lor halus...[]

    i normally shower my plants, then give them a bathe, then shower again before putting in. also scutinize before that.

    sometimes even soak in furan3 solution - colleague's remedy.

    woah, i didn't see any eggs in mine except the web-like stuff[:0]

    anyway, medicated with furan3, seemed to have helped cos no new stuff came back during the last 48 hours. just changed over 50% water when i came back earlier, put in a carbon pad and have been praying since![]

    lucky no fish, otherwise more stress!

    I have only 2 SAE. They cleared up the mess pretty fast. Maybe you can try.

    The web thing looks like some secretion from the plants, in particular my hairgrass and valisneria.

    chaq, i got my furan3 from petmart. but must tell you that this's a "fish-panadol", if you know what i mean.

    i was just doing trial-and-error, when i put in that medicine...

    till now i still don't know exactly what hit my tank, but definitely didn't look like fungus to me.

    Coryfav, you use Pflanzengold 7?

    I suspect it may be some bacteria film or something like that.
