algae problem

Because of exams and such, I’ve let my tank be for a few weeks and there’s way too much algae in it (guessing hair algae). I’ve looked for products to get rid of it but there’s way too many mixed opinions and I don’t want to buy some random alibaba chemicals to put in my tank. Pls help don’t...

I started to notice some of this clear white stuff growing on my rocks can anyone tell me what it is?

Hello, I've just noticed this in my tank in two small areas. The red seems to floresce under blue light. Is it the dreaded cyano or maybe some algae. Any information would help. The video to me looks the best so hopefully you can open the file.

I need some help! I have a 40 gallon established mixed reef tank with two clowns and a moyers leopard wrasse and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I’m having issues with red bubble algae and green hair algae covering everything. I’m also having an issue with aiptasia everywhere. What sort of fish could...

Does anyone one what these orange/red spots are? Anyhelp would be appreciated...Foe or Emeny?

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...

First time joining a forum and for the most part my relatively new reef is going quite well. Fast growing favia Brightly coloured zoas New heads on acans New heads on blastos Back Story I set up a nano tank back in September but quickly swapped out my planted tank setup for a larger marine...

Good day everyone! I started a new nano tank about 3 months ago and have been battling this problem algae that showed up about a month ago! And i cannot get rid of it! It is a 28 gal red sea reefer nano, I am running a protein skimmer and Chaeto reactor. Light cycle is 10 hours per day, 2 of...

I thought it was maybe cyano, but it’s almost more like feathery red hair algae. What do I got?

Hi all, The title of this thread is my question: How long can soft corals and zoas stay out of water? The background for my question is this: I have a chunk of live rock that has become covered with hair algae. I want to take it out of the tank and scrub the algae off. The problem is that two...

I don't know what percentage of folks had luck battling dinos with any of the methods in the old Dino thread but it's obviously a very low percentage, so I'd like refresh folks on the natural alternatives and lay out three areas of info: some of the factors that contribute to a dino outbreak...

for the past week I've been dealing with what looks to me as dead algae. It's this white-grey almost ash like growth on my rock. About 3 weeks ago I eliminated a cyano problem with chemiclean and was very successful. I didn't dose the recommended amount and have done a 20% and two 10% water...
