algae

Hello everyone, I have this algae in my tank that is growing wild, while all the other algae’s are growing At minimal levels. Nothing seems to eat it and it grows in long strands. It also seems to have little leaves on it. Can anybody ID and any way to get rid of it?

I have a pair of Mocha Gladiator Clowns and a Coral Beauty Angel. They eat the frozen mysis shrimp, but don’t seem too happy with it. I also have marine pellets that the clowns like but the angel doesn’t seem to like. My biggest concern is the angel because it doesn’t seem to eat much. What’s...

I had a velvet outbreak 8 weeks ago today that killed off all my fish unfortunately, I’ve been fallow since then but for some reason had a green hair algae outbreak as well as spikes in ammonia, my phosphates , alk, cal, nitrates, ph are all well within recommended ranges I’ve been able to take...

On most of my rock work.

Hey everyone. So recently I've had a bit of a algae outbreak on my new tank. I have never seen this algae before in my previous experience. I though at first it was just GHA, however it's a lot harder to get off and Is just in little clumps. Does anyone know what type of algae this is?

I'm pretty new to the aquarium thing but everything seemed to be going so well the past few months and all of a sudden today the tank and equipment is covered in this brown stuff and bubbles. There were even patches of sand flying around because the bubbles were carrying them through the water...

Currently have a 125g tank that was previously running at former owners home for 2+ years. Basically just transferred the entire tank to my house (minus the water). Two weeks ago, nitrates were sky high (150ppm). I dosed the tank with seachem prime because that’s all I had on hand. I did a 75%...

I've had my tank up for about 3 years. I got my first corals this summer, and they are doing great. My problems started in September, when school started. I haven't been able to give my tank the attention it needs. I've kept up on water changes, but I've missed a couple too. My tank is doing ok...

Help not 100% sure but I thinks it’s dinos and it’s killing my tank I need anyone’s help on how I can fix this corals are looking rough and fish are reacting now this was never a problem until I switched over to new tank. Thanks everyone

I'm not sure what this algae is, it grows like crazy and very fast. I thought it was cyno so I bought some chemiclean and put that in the water and followed the instructions on the box. it looked great afterwards, nice white sand, but its back but it doesn't look like it used to. it looked...

Hi, I have some GHA, some bubble and another that I’m guessing is sea lettuce? Anyone know what it is. Its quite tight to rocks or maybe it’s the tangs tucking into it? https://youtube.com/shorts/pyItjXE-Z4M?feature=share Thanks

Still learning how to control the algae

TL:DR can/should I leave a very low wattage "night light" on during a blackout to reduce the likelihood of my fish from accidentally swimming into an anemone? So I have, something (algae/Dinos/whatever*) that I am planning on doing a 3 day blackout for. Last time I did a blackout I lost a...

And is it good or bad. Not trying to have something grow that night over take my tank.

Hey, I am trying to figure out what this stuff is on the sand bed, I was told its a buildup of calcium, so I got something to deal with the buildup, did a few water changes and its still coming back. Am i doing something wrong, or should i do more water changes to get rid of it? It seems...

Hi everyone, For those of you that are culturing (or have cultured) phyto, have you ever noticed white particles developing? If so, any idea what they are and if they can be fed to the reef or need to be filtered out, or even not used? I’ve got two cultures going; one has these white...

I’ve been having an algae problem for quite sometime now. For the past few month I’ve been getting algae in my sand bed but I have no idea what type it is and was hoping someone can help me identify it. I contribute to suck it out the sand during water changes but it just continues to grow back

Let me introduce myself, my name is Paulo Scaldaferri, a Brazilian reefer who have been dealing with dinos as a special area of interest: I had it on my own tanks many times before and sometimes for months. This led me to an avid interest of study of those alveolates, including reading many...

I've had this tank for over a year with a few successful months (in terms of no algae outbreaks), otherwise I've always had an issue with algae. Long hair algae and diatoms, some cyanobacteria outbreaks as well. I'm related to someone who works at a major fish supplier so I was able to get some...

So I am emptying my entire system after about 5 months running… and I find this in the sump it sat stagnant for about 20 hours give or take. It’s looking like a sheet of mucus or plastic but it’s in a shiny clear sheet… but it is in a few different places. I only had a poly(which gave me a run...

Hi everyone, does any of you guys ever use vibrant more than once a week? I’ve been fighting algae and it start to irritating me

Hello all! I currently have a 60 gallon reed tank that has been having some problems. I run 2 AI prime lights in my tank and seem to notice a couple things. My acans have not seemed to do very well where the light hits em, however they are encrusted to the actual rock. Also, many of my corals...
