What is this stuff?

[skipb1956]

So my canister filter went down awhile back and can't replace it yet. So this stuff is all over my tank now. What is it and how do I get rid of it? Its kinda like a mat.

cyanobacteria i believe

looks like this?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yep. Cyano bacteria.

Try sucking it out and increase your water flow. Also always good to do a water change after to help remove what is causing the bloom

 

[hubble]

Definitely Cyano bacteria

Yeah its cyano bacteria. Get rid of as much as you can and increase flow
