Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / July 2004Red fuzzy algae?
Hello everyone, I have recently noticed a fine red algae growing on the glass of my 1yr old coral tank. I beleive this started shortly after my last large 2.5" snail (still have several smaller snails) got sucked into the impeller of the powerhead (not positive). Is this an algae I want to get rid of or not? If a get another large snail or two, will they get rid of this or do I need to do something else? Everything else seems normal except for this strange new algae (and no large snails). " Is this an algae I want to get rid of or not?" Yes, it is one of the cyanobacteria AKA, Blue-Green Algae. More than likely it is either Lynnbya or Schizothrix  SignatureBoomer Want to talk chemistry ? The Reef Chemistry Forum http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/index.php Want to See More ?

We've got exactly the same thing in our tank, this red algea has taken over the sand at the bottom, it's like a plague! It went, then it came back. Time to kill again I think. |
