algae

Hi all, hopefully you can help me!! I have a 24 gallon AIO waterbox peninsula, roughly 8 months old. I have been battling algae for the last 4-5 months. I believe its a combination of diatom, dinos and maybe cyano? the algae doesn’t completely disappear at night, but does reduce slightly. If...

Reefing noob here, Anyone know what this lime green stuff on my rocks is? Some sort of algae but what I’ve read could be precursor to coralline? Any input is appreciated

Hi all, I suffered a prorocentrum bout a few months back and it has come and gone in a few patches since, but now I noticed this red stringy stuff that eerily looks like an increase in Dino. I put it under a microscope but I couldn’t really identify anything. I attached a video! #reefsquad

This has been growing in my tank lately and need to know what it is so I can get rid of it

Okay. I'm just gonna fire off these questions because I have a ton of them, lol. Some backstory: I've kept freshwater fish for 26 years. I just got into saltwater in the summer of 2021 and now am on my 3rd (4th counting the quarantine) tank. Here goes so bear with me: 1. Any downside/upside...

So, I’m looking for some wisdom… I made my first ever batch of DIY frozen food a couple of weeks ago and my tank looks like crap. I normally dose NOPOX, but this is like algae at another level. My most recent nitrate test was < 5 ppm. Not ideal, but not terrible. My guess is that phosphates have...

i have been able to eliminate bryopsis almost completely from my sps system with fluconazole . Unfortunately after a few months it comes back. I am currently running triton method so every time I dose the fluconazole I have to pull out my chaeto. going forward I would like to just leave...

Hiya everyone! Quick question. My tank is doing great and my algae is under control nicely except for one holdout. My pipe organ is covered in green hair algae and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how on Earth to remove it all. Every few days I pull off as much as I can but it is insidious and the...

Hello fellow saltines, My tank is still young (8 months now) and until about 6 weeks ago I had 0 phosphate and 5ppm nitrate. I started to get some hair algae and instead of just adding some snails I panicked and started doing manual removal by doing daily pulling and siphoning which of course...

Hello all, As the title says I just got back into saltwater after about 10 years. This algae whatever it is is winning the battle because I am out out idea's my water parameters are near perfect though about a week ago I added some calcium supplement (for my halimeda plant) and misread the...

I’m very new if you’ve seen my posts before I am only on week two of salt tanks… in the last few days these gold spots have appeared I am not sure what they are I would appreciate any information or help! It’s also growing on the walls is this normal algae? Or am I over feeding and left over...

Anyone know what this orange stuff is? Coralline algae maybe? I don’t know. All my levels are ok, salinity at good level, everything seems good. But this stuff is growing in spots.

I don’t know what else I can do! I’ve been struggling with this type of algae (or cyano idk what is this) for some months. I did several water changes in order to stop the development. I spend my weeks quiting the algae of the tank and scrubbing the rocks, idk what else I can do.

How do I deal with this. Getting bad. What type of algae is this??? I dosed vibrant once. My tanks only a few months old...should I boil everything and start over?

Hi all, Just after some help, started getting some ugly-looking algae in my tanks and wondering what it is and the best way to get rid of it? Thanks Phil

Can any one ID this algae? I think it’s GHA but not too sure and would like to know so I can take the necessary steps to start getting rid of it. this rock is new in my tank and could be just going through it’s ugly phase of cycling but rather be safe in case it’s something else like Bryopsis...

Is this Dino? I’ve had my tank up in running for about 2 months now. Just had a die off of diatoms I believe and now this long stringy algae has appeared. Can someone confirm it’s dino or if it’s something else?

This is my first saltwater tank and has been set up for 3 months now. It is a red sea 625xxl This problem started out looking like dino or diatoms. More brown in color with tentacle like balls of gas. I put an mp40 in the tank and the balls of air went away but the color turned more red and...

Hello everyone If anyone would be kind to help us in our new tank. We have had it for 2 months now and just last week this showed up. We can't get our hand on what it is exactly. We have caribsea Life Rock and life sand Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 20ppm Lights are on for 6 hours We do...

New to the hobby but I've had my salt water aquarium with lots of live rock for 3 months now and i have something weird growing off the side of a rock. Looks like a coral but not sure at all. Could someone please help identify this for me?

I would like some help to try to figure what type of algae this is and how to defeat I have been battling this for the last month, but it has getting worse in the last week. My tank is 90 gallon with a sump, AquaUV 15 watt sterilizer on it, 8 months old. Phosphate for the last month .13 to .3 I...

Hello, was wondering if anyone knew why I had bubbles at the top of my tank and what I can do to fix this? My levels are good and my ATO water is good.
