I've seen pics of turf algea and I can't really tell what I have is the same. Thus I can't treat it properly. Can someone ID. And give me suggestions on how to rid i . Water changes aren't doing the trick
Thank you |

How old is your tank? New tanks go through a lot of the uglies until they finally stabilize. If your tank is still relatively new (year or less) just keep doing your regular water changes and it usually clears up. Having a good skimmer (dont cheap out on the skimmer) and running GFO and carbon will also help a lot.
