Some more microscopy. This is my "film" algae that grows in my nutrient poor (0.2 ppm nitrate and 3-4ppb Phos) tank.
From what I can tell this is a chrysophyte.
More of a minor inconvenience than a problem as it EXCLUSIVELY grows on my glass and scrapes easily.
But has anyone made positive IDs? Also, what is a good consensus on treatment? Manual removal and upping nutrient levels? I know many algaes thrive on lower nutrients, as it makes them the best competitor.
