White filmy thread algae
Susi,
Are you sure these aren't nematodes crawling out of the soil with copper
poisoning?
That isn't a lot of light for a ten gal.
Why is the GH so high?
If it is copper - and the snail death is an indicator, it might take more
than water changes to rid you of it. The Cupi-sorb or whatever is a good
idea. That copper can bond with a lot of stuff and you have "soil" in there.
With copper and that little light, I'm sursprised algae could grow this well
but maybe that's why it is white.
Just a few points to consider. :0)
With a soil substrate there's just no telling. Paul K. has a good procedure
for "soil soup". Freshly submerged "soils" can be chemical and biological
chaos for a while. Best to do this elsewhere and let it stabilize before use,
IMHO.
Sounds like you have a lot of test kits - what type Fe kit?
