algae

Hello, I’ve had my tank up and running since the end of August. Around October I started seeing what I thought was diatoms. They started slow then exploded and covered my rocks and sand. The trochus snails are eating it which is making me believe it’s diatoms but at this point I would think they...

I have a 16 gallon biocube with some snails that don't eat a lot of algae, zoanthids and a blastomussa coral, and a citron goby. My question is, I have a lot of algae growth on my sand bed and it looks like I am getting some hair algae on my rocks. I just got the corals yesterday. If I were to...

Hello, I've went fallow on my tank for a couple months due to a velvet outbreak. During this time I started to get some GHA throughout the tank and it slowly turned into this webby reddish algae. I was thinking about getting some fish soon since the velvet is more than eradicated by now, but I...

Yes I know. GHA outbreak after the hurricane. Been battling it pretty well I think. Turned on whites to get better pics. it is a spongy red brown algae forming in balls before it spreads. It was only on the frag plugs of two Zoas, completely took them over. After a peroxide bath and a bit of...

So, no matter what I do, I keep having this reddish/brown coating come back again and again. The system itself has been up and running for 16 months, and I transferred it from a 60-gallon tank to a WaterBox Marine X 110.4 in August of this year. I've tried vacuuming the film off of the sand...

Hi all. I am having issues with my zoas. I noticed that they have started to not open up, some areas are disappearing and I am noticing a some are kinda turning black and disappearing. Can anyone hell. I have them in a relatively low flow and parameters seem good. Nitrates maybe a lil low since...

Hi All! Hoping to get some help with an algae ID. The pictures aren’t great but I have these small maroon dots that have shown up. I’ve dealt with Cyano before and though this is a similar color I don’t believe that’s what this is. While this new algae was in the tank I had a patch or two of...

These are sturdy, slow-growing sprouts that kind of look like leeks. What are these strange sprouts? Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know what this is, I can’t find anything like it online.

Hey guys, Is anybody using raw spirulina powder to feed your copepods (or other types of zooplankton), corals or other creatures like fish? I use an addition of spirulina in fish food and I would like to use it more, as it's healthy and cheap, but I wonder how successful would I be with a...

So ive noticed this algae popping up in my tank over the past few weeks. It is on the sandbed and rocks and I have looked it up and have not been able to identify it. It is almost fuzzy little balls that coat the surface of my sand and rocks. It definitely doesn’t appear to be one of the...

Hi I have a new in box Skimz Algae reactor that won’t fit under my tank in my sump….so selling it 200.00 or best offer shipping available.

Hey guys! Well my 310gal has been up and running now since the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I’ve had lights on it now for a couple of weeks. Just put my permanent light setup(coral cares) on it last weekend and have them on a 10 hour light schedule at only 20% intensity right now. I used...

What’s up guys here is some pictures of my 2 new hermit crabs I added today. Looks like they are loving it. I bought some algae pellets for them to eat since I don’t have algae growing right now. Let me know what you all think!!

Macro Algae Owners!!! I’ve recently switched over into the macro world and notice my red macro starting to gray out or become white. Dying or detritus build up? Are these signs that it is dying? I believe my tank has more than enough nutrients but I could be mistaken. Maybe it’s flow because...

This stuff showed up almost instantly, 7 week old tank and last few days I've been adding PurpleUp to help the corraline grow. I cant get a good pic but its a layer ontop of my rock and its VERY WHITE. I read it may be bleaching but this is new growth. I have very little flow in the areas...

The other day i noticed these tiny green/brown strands of what i assume to be algae on the glass of my new tank under only the lit up side (one side does not have a light over it yet). The tank has been running for almost exactly one month in total and only 6 days with a light on one side...

I'm wondering of anyone has any tips on removing hair algae from a goni frag. The algae is growing in between some polyps not on the plug. It's an amazeballs goni so I really want to clear this up without risking the coral. Thanks

I noticed two of the frags I added to my tank about a month ago are growing bubble algae. What's the best solution here? Should I take the frags out, remove all algae, and rinse off with tank water? Does that risk spores? Or could I cover it with some super glue and hope that stops things? Or...

I have a ice cap medium algae scrubber only about 7 months old, I bought from brs. Asking $225. Shipping from Atlanta

I believe it is hair Algae on the rock but it’s not green more like white. And if so should I leave it in the tank because it’s beneficial? or remove it completely. I attached a video
