White chalky film on live rock, what is it?

Cinco · 05-05-2001, 11:46 AM

and how or should I get rid of it?
It isn't major and doesn't appear to be spreading over coraline algea, just bare areas on 2 pieces of LR.
Thanks

Correction: on further inspection it does look like it is filming over coraline and it does not readily rub or blow off.

I'm not dosing any calcium, anything for that matter. 'trate/trite, and Amonia test 0, and my calcium is running about 380.

Does anyone have experience with this....or even an idea of where I can look for it?
