Too Much (bad) Macro Algae!

that is nasty

Yeah, UM........Phosphates ya think?

yeahhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhh..................ever herd of chemi-pure- elite and lots of it?

Also check your bulbs old ones can cause this too, along with phosphates . Do lot of water changes and try not to overfeed . I have also read in several posts about people turning off their lights for 2-3 days at a time. Good luck!

Oops... my Photo Details did not come out quite clear. This is an old picture from back in January 2007. I was not running a skimmer and was using tap water (bad, bad .. I know). The tank is much healthier now, and not a spot of hair algae.

I just submitted this picture because it is the only macro algae I have ever had in the tank

Not having a skimmer was the least of your worries...

I don't see any macro algae. Just hair algae.

Hair ain't micro, must be macro

yes, hair algae is micro algae. Filamentous algaes are actually single celled.

NEVER I LOVE TAP WATER I EVEN DRINK IT !

i had the same problem...just not that bad...but i was using tap

that GHA actually looks nice, fluffy, and soft.

hahah awesome.... its a meadow of sealife!
