300 gallon preform. 3 months old. Temperature about 80. I have a brown
looking algae. I never had that before. The water is clear, the fish are happy. I have 3 turtles all 5-6 inches. and a few fish. I have a great filter with uv light. But the pump is 1600gph. So maybe its to fast flowing for the 13 watt UV to work. Will it work at all at that flow? The filter has been working perfect. All the fish are very active the turtles eat and bask. But I have this brownish looking algae on the sides of the preform and all the plastic plants, rocks ect. I cant have live plants cause the turtles eat them all.. If I move any rocks or the filter there is no brown. So It must be algae from the sun. Anything that I move has no algae unless its in the sun. Dark areas do not have it. . I used a good bacteria since additive since I started. Is this good algae? Its browm but never grows more than 1/16 inch. (like slime) It wipes off easy with a towel. Thank you |
