Brown Bubble Algea
Does anyone know how to get rid of this stuff? google has not been helpful unless im entering the name wrong.
i'll post pictures in a bit, just figured I'd get a head start on the problem. [IMG]http://s32.postimg.org/k6a7gpf9d/IMG...518_202545.jpg[/IMG] |
anyone?

I can't see anything in your photo besides a brown blur. If you get an in-focus photo I will probably be able to ID it for you.

Looks like red valonia. No good way to get rid of it just start plucking or nuke the rock
|
hopefully one of these shows a better pic.

k changed the upload size so when you click on the phote the picture enlarges. in this photo the algea in question are circular in shape similar to green bubble algea. however there are other pictures where the algea looked deflated like a squished jelly bean? |
Looks like 2 types of algae which possibly could be changing the appearance of bubble algae colour to brown.
It could be diatoms and bubble algae on top of it. How old is the tank? What are your nitrate and phosphate levels? Emerald crabs eat bubble algae or you will need to carefully remove it without puncturing it. |

tank finished its cycle mid March, but water has been running since beginning of Feb I believe. according to hanna kit, phosphate is 0. I am picking up another ki today to compare to the hanna kit. |

I was debating removing all the rock and starting from scratch, but it was suggested I would have to rehouse my fish during that time, which is a no go since i have no where to put them. |
