OK, Will provide that. TyyWhat does the tank look like with the algae in it? Can you send pictures of the tank and highlight the problem patches? I unfortunately am not a phycologist, so can’t identify based off of microscope pictures alone....
I did not provide images of the problem... this after cleaned everything 5 days ago... turned dark the tank, oné full day or so, but it is growing fast now...Hard for me to tell for sure, but looks to me like diatoms (rod like things), Cyanobacteria (long string like stuff). The round single cell stuff no clue.
A lot of really normal stuff for a new tank and a good mix of it.
just make sure you are making water with RODI and the diatoms will use up all the silica in the water.
you may really like this article. It helped me ID a lot of stuff when I got my microscope.
