Thanks in advance.

The algae I’m trying to get rid of looks like black snot and it’s only in my Fuge.

I’ve posted (2) Microscope pics and (2) pics of it my Fuge growing all over my BioBlocks. Any idea what it is?

Got it. Looks like slime or bacterial
See if it dislodges with gentle bursts from a turkey baster
Loosen with toothbrush and siphon up
