H. hydrossis
A low-DO filament similar in cause to Type 1701 but often present with a different filament morphology.
Haliscomenobacter hydrossis is a thin, often curved or coiled filament that thrives under mild to moderate low-DO conditions.
Frequently found alongside Type 1701 in the same bulking event, since both respond to the same underlying low-DO driver.
Fix follows the same path as other low-DO filaments: raise and hold DO consistently across the full aeration basin, verifying probe accuracy first.
