Help ID this algae
What kind of algae is this? It looks like slime algae, but it is black and parts of it have a leathery base. 100 gallon tank, stable parms. I feed it about once every two weeks or so. 2x250W MH.
Q1: What kind of algae is this? Q2: Is there anything that will eat it? I siphon as much as I can during water changes. Thanks, Chris |

When I say "feed it" I'm refering to the tank, not the algae!
Thanks again, Chris |
