I have bright yellow spots/clusters all along the silicone in my fish tank. The tank was bought in May, the "spots" started to appear 2-3 weeks ago. It starts like very tiny dots, almost like a powder, but then it makes bigger clusters. I scraped some off with a spoon, it is rather sticky and smelly (difficult to describe, pungent, mould alike, a little lemony ... but this could all be influenced by the tank water itself).
I searched the web for countless hours, to not avail. I contacted various labs and they all refer me back to a lab in Auckland which will charge a fortune to analyse it. I can't afford it.
I have lost fish (will do another post about that) and water params are fine, double checked with local LFS. The specialist there suspects this yellow stuff to have something to do with the death of some fish.
Has anyone ever seen this?????
