My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Image is quite blue but appears to be a combination of green hair and turf algae.
Best plan of attack is to pull off what you can by hand and then scrub rest of it off with a toothbrush, net suspended matter then do a good siphoning.
after reduce white light intensity and add some snails such as:
Turbo grazer
Astrea
Cerith
Trochus
AND A PIN CUSHION URCHIN
IS this tank at or near a window?

Hi, thanks for the ID. The tank is near a window but no natural light comes thru. I think what caused the algae was me dosing trace elements and maybe the algae took a foot given access nutrients. My nitrate and phosphat are in range NO3 2ppm and po4 0.03.
