I discovered a white and black algae today in my sump. I tried doing some research...I LED to it being bba but that doesn't seem the case here.

Can anyone identify this do I can start taking the correct actions or just let it be.

You will need to look at the stuff with a microscope to obtain more information about what we are looking at. Is the aquarium good otherwise?

I removed it from the tank. Unfortunately I do not have a microscope. It was a very jello like substance and smelt horrendous!! Lol



The tank seems fine. I just received my ati results this morning funny enough and for the most part everything is in the green.
