Algae or Cyanobacteria? What to do?
Hi, I have a 1 1/2 month old 60gal tank w/ about 30-35 lbs of live
rock and 60 lbs of aragonite sand. A few weeks ago, I've had a bad problem with this purple/reddish fast growing stuff on my sand and glass! It is now beginning to slowly appear on some rocks. I sifted the sand manually and some of it has now turned brown... Areas covered from the light by rocks, etc are still white sand. It looks sorta slimy and hairy. What is this stuff? How can I get rid of it? Thanks! I have a few pictures: http://www.bunniestation.com/photos/algae1.JPG http://www.bunniestation.com/photos/algae2.jpg http://www.bunniestation.com/photos/algae3.jpg
