thefarmacist Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Is there a way to tell if green algea is corraline or not? I have a substantial amount of bright green algea (predominantly on the LR closer to the lights) but it doesnt appear hairy or slimey. It just doesnt look like "normal" algea. Ive read some posts that mention corraline green algea, was hoping to find a way to identify it. The tank is 5 weeks old with one pseudo and cleanup crew only. Temp: 81 - 82 pH: 8.2 Ammonia: 0 Trites: 0 Trates: 5-10 SG: .025 Alk: Medium High (My test kit doesnt give a figure - need a new one) Calc: 430 Thanks all Link to comment
