green algae

Yes I know. GHA outbreak after the hurricane. Been battling it pretty well I think. Turned on whites to get better pics. it is a spongy red brown algae forming in balls before it spreads. It was only on the frag plugs of two Zoas, completely took them over. After a peroxide bath and a bit of...

This is my tank that I thought was doing pretty fine until a algae outbreak and I know it’s nitrates and phosphates, should I just let them stay and starve out their nutrients? I got 4 turbo snails and a emerald crab for a 20g. Also, how many corals is too many corals?

Having a nightmare with the algae on the back wall. The rocks are cured that way and I’m not particularly bothered about them (I read that they should turn darker and purple as coralline takes over) This algae is so hard to scrape away, I press as hard as possible with my scraper but it just...

I introduced three new sea urchins to my long island sound tank yesterday. Floated them as I thought was appropriate amount of time (about 4 hours) I also added a couple mummychugs and two green crabs. Upon returning to my tank this morning all three urchins are flipped on their "backs" with...

Before this one i had diatoms (they’re not 100% cleared out but are practically only on the glass, before they were everywhere) Now this green algae is everywhere and it’s quite ugly. My tank is about 4 months old.

Hi.. I have biocube 32 gallon tank for more thank 1 year. For last few days it started growing green hair like thing and it's growing fast all over my live rocks. Can I get rid of old rocks and add new live rocks with the fish still in the tank (clown & chromis) ? Please help.

Hello Everyone, can somebody please help me identify this algae. It’s really bushy and waves in the water flow. It’s growing on the back glass as well. Any idea if this is green hair or turf algae? What’s the difference? Any ideas to bring this under control? I added a Torchus snail and a...

So at first I thought this stuff was green coralline algae but the more I looked into it I realized it’s probably not. Can anyone specify what exactly is this green stuff on my rocks?

Hi All, I am relatively new to Saltwater and would love some assistance with my current situation. I was a little excited with the cycle and did have lights on including white for some time ( I have learned since then). Can someone please assist in identifying the algae growth and let me know...

I should start by saying, I do not have all the answers, in fact, I hardly have any. After combing the forums daily for weeks, I realized that there are hundreds(thousands?) of threads concerning GHA. Unfortunately many of these threads have either gone unanswered, or the answers varied greatly...

So, I have had this 13.5-gallon saltwater tank kit for a few months now and its never stops having loads of algae in it. I do water changes every week from the water from my local Petco, but I also have my own ROM but it's too cold to use it since I connect it to my hose into my basement. I just...

Hi there, i hope you al doing ok. This green and red stuff has grown inside back muy tank, is it a bacteria or is normal or what. Im a begginer. And after all my fish died from brooklynella, some of you told me to leave the tank with no fish for about 2 months and that's what I'm doing. Also...

I've had this algae few months back (did some googling but came up with no conclusion). Did fluconazole treatment for 3 weeks and they're gone. But in past week or so these things started to appear on some parts of rock. I don't wanna do another fluconazole if there's a more natural way. Would...

Hello, I am currently battling prorocentrum dinos and am making solid progress. I have a forest of GHA now, but it is now becoming problematic. It is housing stray dinos in it, while also suffocating my Xenia. Even though it is a competitor for the dinos, it is also a major nuisance. I want to...

Hello guys, I’m need some help to ID this Algea bloom in my tank. I had a lot of hair algea in my tank, so I did a fluconazole treatment, and it worked really well. Then I did a large water change, and after that I got this green algea all over the sand. I know my nitrates might be high, but...

Hi.. I see green algae in my LedBiocube 32G tank. Can you please help me how to get rid it off.. I scrapped it with Mag-Float Glass Floating Magnet but after 1 or 2 days again its coming.

Hey another question, definitely have an emergency on my hands and need to know what to do ASAP. As much input as I can get would be appreciated. I have a 29 gallon tank about 3 months old housing two ocellaris clowns and a bunch of mushroom corals. 3 days ago we added some new tank mates 4...

Hello just messaging from the Arizona area, looking for some input. I’m fairly new to the world of saltwater aquarium care and could really use some advise. We have a 29 gallon tank about 3 months old housing two ocellaris clowns and a beautiful bunch of mushroom corals who have been doing...

Been dealing with this algae for a little bit now and it's just getting out of hand. Starting to grow on coral skeletons even with scrubbing and removing it regularly. Can someone tell me what this is? Having a hard time 100% IDing it. It is some sort of green sheet algae that grows in layers...

I’ve been battling GHA for a few months now and It’s upsetting because I got it on a frag plug from my LFS. It has only spread a little bit and it pulls off easily so my nitrates are >5ppm and phosphate is around >0.15. I have tried flipping rocks upside down to cover the GHA, manual removal...

Can someone tell me what algae I have on my rocks and is it good or bad. Also what the white marks are on rocks and snails shell, aswell as the purple tip on snails shell. Any advice will be appreciated

I have been extremely patient going through my cycle and it’s been quite fun but I’m tired of it! Does anyone know when the different types of algae will start to disappear? my tank is 6-8 months old and my nitrate is sub 5 ppm. Also, how can I control green hair? it’s getting bad..

I've had my tank running for a few months now. I cycled the tank with microbacters cycling kit, the cycle went great and was done within a couple of weeks. This sort of dust algae appeared about two weeks ago and then some GHA. I added 3 emerald crabs to keep up with the hair algae but now the...

Starting to get a little out break so I thought I figure out how everyone else deals with this.
