what is it and how to take it off?

[dor_L]

Hello, the tank is 108 liters, I built it an algae scrubber with refuge lighting, salinity 1.025 nitrate 24 PPM and phosphate 0.09 red sea tests.During the lighting, the air bubbles do not appear until after a few hours of lighting.There are 4 turbo snails. I feed 3 times a day even with frozen, how do I handle the problem?Thanks

On the left picture it looks like cyano and the right just looks like clumped green hair algae. Increase flow if you can and remove as much as possible manually. Cyano may need to have rocks removed and scrubbed.

The purple slime is cyano

The green looks like clumped GHA, probably with cyano gelling it together like that

Get some wire brushes, find some long handle ones if you can
Waterproof electric toothbrush
1/2 tubing, enough to get bottom of tank and out to a bucket
Long turkey baster

Brush it off, suction it via siphon
Blow it off with a long turkey baster

Water changes

Honestly, if you have junk growing on rocks that are not epoxied and have no corals, just pull them. Clean them off in a bucket of new saltwater, rinse, replace, repeat.

Add some bottled bacteria each night

Question, how mature is your most mature coral and fish?

I made a DIY Turf Algae Scrubber, it only grew purple cyano. It was pretty actually. Didn't grow in the tank, I called that a success, a W.

It will go away eventually. Usually when something else takes that particular niche in your tank ecosystem

I will remove it with a toothbrush while changing the water, what about the nutrients, should I add nopox?The truth is that I have a xenia star polyp and a hairy mushroom that don't like that, they all grow fast, the xenia doesn't grow at all, what's the reason?

Bubbles on stalks look like dinoflagellates to me.
