The great thing about a scrubber is that it grows exactly what many fish eat naturally. Even fish that you think would not eat algae, such as some cichlids, will do so if the growth is living. But many freshwater and saltwater fish and other animals love it. Green hair algae especially, but also...
For all the FW folks...
If you have a dust algae problem on your plants, just reduce the nitrate and phosphate in the water. You can get rid of most of the algae without slowing the plant growth.
The HOG1 is the medium size of the small HOG's and fits many AIO compartments (if you remove the tank's black covering) and all displays. If a larger tank, then the HOG1 is used for growing live food...

This is my 10 gallon reef tank and I was wondering for some advice to deal with this algae. I was also wanting to know if it would be a good idea to get a small wave maker, if so which you recommend. Thanks in advance!
Looking for thoughts, ideas, recommendations....
Would like to add a refugium to a 30G AIO tank.
I don't have the room to retrofit a back chamber, so was thinking of making a DIY sump/refugium. I've got a 20inch tall glass vase that would fit perfect under my display cabinet. Would be very...
Hey everyone, battling dinos right now, bought a microscope to get some better and larger images, i figured these images/videos could maybe be useful for people trying to ID, this is Amphidinium, not sure if large or small cell but someone else can try to confirm. i did a 3 day blackout to no...
"The turf algal communities of coralgal reefs are master primary producers in nutrient-poor seas. Composed of assemblages of many species of cyanobacteria, as well as red, green and brown algae, the filamentous turf algae with their high surface area to volume ratio are highly efficient at...
Hey yall I’m new to the forum, I started my tank five months ago and wanted to get some insights. I’ve got a WaterBox cube 20 with a mp10, and I use RODI water i buy from local fish shop. I have 1 banggai cardinal, 1 yellow watchman goby, 1 pom pom crab, and recently just got 1 skunk cleaner...
What do all algae (and cyano too) need to survive? Nutrients. What are nutrients? Ammonia/ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and urea are the major ones. Which ones cause most of the algae in your tank? These same ones. Why can't you just remove these nutrients and eliminate all the algae in...
Hello all, I am trying to identify a possible encrusting Algae/Bacteria. It is brown/black and competing with my coralline algae. It is encrusting in a strongly attached layer and has a similar feel to coralline algae although smoother. It doesn’t seem to be harming or competing with my corals...
Have super healthy dragon's breath ready for new homes. I joke that I can no longer keep any coral because these keep my nitrate and phosphate so low haha. These have been growing in a fish-free and pest-free system, so buy with confidence. Feel free to text at 347-542-9134 too.
Thanks!
Hi I was curious and wanted to know if anyone could help me out. Been dealing with this algae for a while now took a quick pic before work gonna test when I get home. But is this hair algae?
I'm doing an experiment... I have two 15gal AIO nano tanks both with three chambers in the back, intake/filtration/output as is typical. I'm interested in putting a long thin LED bulb about 12" or so on 24/7 in the intake chamber (instead of a filter sock which I have removed). This chamber is...
