Need some help.. my tank has been completely overrun by algae.. not sure what I need to do. My fish seem fine, but the tank looks atrocious. Any tips on what I need to do? I can’t tell if this is cyano or dino’s.. ordered a microscope to try and identify what this is to take the appropriate steps. Any tips?
ID: red/brown filament-like from base of candy cane on right bottom. It retracts when I try to grab it with tweezers. I've researched and can't seem to identify it?
Also, red spot on left likely scaring from LFS fragging it.?
Tank is 1 month old, coral is one week in tank. No other algae in tank, only 1 coral.
Do y’all know what is this brown hair looking algae in my rocks? It’s a bit hard to see, but if you zoom in you can see these brown strands that look like hair , are these hair algae?? They have been annoying some of my coral so what I have been doing is cleaning them with a toothbrush and then siphoning em out, I also have some cuc but they are really eating it. So what is it?
I bought a kid’s microscope to help identify the type of algae I have in my aquarium. I’m not sure if it’s diatoms or dinoflagellates. The microscope claims to go up to 1200x magnification, but I’m not sure how accurate that is.
Do you think it would be effective for identifying the algae?
