Summer hits and tank maintenance slides. It happens every year — water changes get pushed back, glass goes unwiped, and algae starts creeping in. If you’re going to let anything slip, make sure your cleanup crew is picking up the slack.
Cerith snails are one of the best investments you can make for a low-maintenance tank. They work every layer — substrate, glass, and rockwork — eating detritus, cyano, diatoms, film algae, and leftover food before it can fuel a bloom. They’re nocturnal too, so they’re putting in work while you’re not even looking!

Gotta get this hair algae under control
I have this algae growing, I think it’s Bryopsis, in one spot in my tank. It’s only growing in this one spot in my main tank. It’s also the highest point in my tank. Is there anything I can do to remove this before it spreads. I have some in my sump as well. I’m building an algae scrubber to help export nutrients.
Dose anyone know what these little white specks are there’s a ton of them crawling on the glass and they seem to hang out anywhere algae grows on the glass
Dealing with Cyano, getting better overtime slowly after putting in chemi clean elite, dropping phosphate slowly
Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!
How do you deal with cyano?

Any suggestions on getting rid of this bubble algae??
Dino battle moving into week 7, very frustrating. Not sure I am going to win.

Wish this cyano would disappear
Had to scrub a lot of hair algae off the rock and lower my white and red spectrum
