algae problems

[Ruth]

Is there any way that you can post a picture. There are a couple of kinds of slimey algea that are quite common in the hobby. One is dinoflaglets (sp) and the other is cynobacteria. The dino is usually brown with bubbles forming in and under it and is quite often called snot algea - pray you don't have this one. The other is cyno and it is usually dark brown to red and can also have bubbles in and under it and although it can be hard to get rid of it is not as bad a dino's.
