    Hope someone can help me with this headache I'm facing.
    Yesterday, my diy yeast solution for the CO2 got spilled into my 50L tank. This morning to my horror, white slimy / hairy fungus or algae (not too sure) is seen growing all over the wood, plants and rocks. It is taking over the whole tank.
    See picture. What should I do?
    Will those fungus medication for treating sick fish helps? It is only a week old setup and I really dont wish to dismantle it.

    Is there a more natural method of removing the fungi by using fauna? Maybe plecos or yamato?

    CO2 does not work on fungus but excel does.

    So far so good. The yamatos and ottos did a wonderful job. The cycling also helps, I guess. Situation under control. Many thanks guys!!
