Alagae Identification...

WerezMiePie · 12/29/2014, 10:50 AM

Pretty much looks like any other algae you might find in freshwater... Brownish that sticks up. Main reason for knowing this, is that it is growing all over the face of my tank and my polyps I thought it might be a part of the cycle... I tested the water there is very little ammonia... I will post pictures soon.
Thank you!

Very little ammonia... there should be zero ammonia. Pics will help.

Thank you! I will definitely keep that link. Looks like Green Hair and Diatoms, it is a new tank coming to the end of its cycle. Clean up crew time!!
