Nakie31 January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 Hello can someone please identify this algae on the rock in this pic and if so how can I get rid of it. It looks red in the pic under blue rocks, but it is actually brown . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 Are you sure it's an algae? It could be cyanobacteria. Can you blow it off with a turkey baster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerek2 January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 My astreas can *sometimes* eat it but it’s not very effective at all. In my tank it was just a new tank syndrome. It never came back. But sometimes it’s a nutrient issue. My old tank i would have it for two months then it would go away for two months. The cycle repeated itself several times only thing I could think of is it ate what it could then starved out until more nutrient built up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
