mrkotabear Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's a brown stringy hair algae. Is it diatoms or hair algae? And how do I get rid of it? More flow? I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5-10 ppm nitrate, 0ppm phosphate, RO/DI water, 11 hour lighting schedule. Link to comment

mrkotabear Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Doesn't look like diatoms to me. Dinoflagellates? I've had those before, and they usually have the air bubbles on top of them. Link to comment

mrkotabear Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Ahh, I was guessing based on limited knowledge from images on the interwebs. thanks for trying to help though! I'm guessing it's just a form of Cyanobacteria. Link to comment
thomas8man Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 thanks for trying to help though! I'm guessing it's just a form of Cyanobacteria. Just type of cyanobacteria and shouldn't be scared if you have a proper clean up crew should not be bad Link to comment

Im putting another korlina Nano in. I'll show a picture tomorrow. There's no shinmer now it looks good! The bulb is strong enough to grow a birds nest frag, and a war coral Link to comment

lakshwadeep Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Why do you have 11 hour lighting? Also, how old is the tank? Link to comment
mrkotabear Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Why do you have 11 hour lighting? Also, how old is the tank? counted wrong, it's 9. I should lower it. But the tank is about 4-5 months. Link to comment
