I have a Surf4+ that I just took offline from my 300 gallon system. Worked good, but I've moved onto a Pax Bellum reactor. $550 new. https://www.santa-monica.cc/SURF4x-floating-algae-scrubber-and-seaweed-cultivator--4-cubes-feeding-per-day--Xtra-light-for-higher-nutrient-water_p_73.html

Hi all, Recently my small 6 gal cube is having a bit of a hair algae problem. Honestly I’m not super concerned, I remove most of it by hand and it’s not too bad, but i wonder: what inverts do you recommend that eat hair algae? I heard emerald crabs may do it. Also urchins, but I don’t have the...

Hi all - I'm new to the hobby - my tank is a little over 2 months old. 29 gal AIO. I'm struggling a bit trying to get rid of some stubborn algae on sandbed, in conjunction with keeping nitrates and phosphates at the right levels. hoping for some suggestions. my goal with the tank is a mixed...

I have been having this water surface problem. Some type of green film has been building up. Manual removal does not work; it just comes back in hours. Anything it touches (equipment, fingers, containers) it sticks to. Today, I decided to put it under the microscope. It is not algae. It is a...

I just finished the design and testing phase today and I'm blown away at how effective this is. The unit uses the Aquablade for scraping (glass or acrylic version) and fits standard Python hose (1/2" ID). I was sick of scraping large chunks of algae after a vacation only to have it float all...

My Saltwater aquarium is 1 and half years old and Why my rocks are turning black colour?

I was wondering what type of algae this is and how to get rid of it

I have a algae issue in my 10g fowlr tank running on tap and my parents are gonna make me get rid of the tank they think it’s rotten I told them it’s algae it’s normal is there any creatures to help with algae on glass and sand (If snails I’d rather have them flip themselves over as I’m not home...

Hey everyone, I’m really struggling with something in my reef tank and I could use some advice. My tank is about a year old, and I keep getting this green coating all over the rocks and back glass. I cleaned it all off yesterday, and within 24 hours it’s back again. It feels slimy and doesn’t...

Any one have any ideas it's a folwer tank been up since 2018 but this is its third tank I've done many blackouts but it always comes back i do run a 40watt uv the tank is a 240g to not it's also not on the sand. I plan on getting a microscope if I must. Thanks

Hi there, I have a 3 month old tank that I turned the lights on a couple weeks ago and started getting algae on the rocks. I’m receiving Scarlet red hermits, some clean up snails, and have a tail spot blenny. Is this algae I should be worried about or will it go away with time? Thanks

+/- 20 gallons tank of caulerpa algae (not tank)

Have to go today, I am turning down my system for moving. Still have a 5-6 inches Marron Clown, 20 gallons tank of caulerpa algae, and a coral stuck in a rock

I have about 8 week old 160L Saltwater tank with my cleanup crew, about 5 turbo snails and 2 blue legged hermits and added 2 clownfish about 2 weeks ago. All is going good so far. Over the past week some white stringy stuff is appearing attached to the rocks I have in there. Is this Algae...

Hey reefers, I need help with an algae/bacteria ID. I’m at my wit’s end- nothing seems to match 100%. TL;DR: 664 gallon inter-plumbed trough system in retail setting. Bubbly/turfy green/brown eyesore appeared about the same time as nutrients bottoming out a few months ago. Stabilizing chems...

This is a new but cycled tank. Looking at the stringy things on the bottom of the rock. Parameters are good (I don't have noticable algae elsewhere). It's on a live rock that I got from someone who had there tank setup for years. I currently only have hermits for cleanup crew. If this is...

I scrub or blow off my live rock on a weekly basis and this hairy/slimy stuff keeps showing up. I’ve battled Dino and Cyano with success but can’t get rid of this stuff. Can anyone ID? If it matters it is focused on the bottom half of the live rock and I do have a good flow from 2 wavemakers...

Using a 200x (all I could get my hands on) I took this trying to ID algae. I can tell there is GHA, I think dinos, and what was that worm??? Thanks!

Hello all, first post here on R2R! I love this site because it almost always answers any questions I have. So I thought I’d give it a try with questions directing towards my setup. First off I have a 20g long Innovative Marine Lagoon. It’s been up for about a month. I recently upgraded from a...
