Either black algae or mold
Streetwise replied to Kelly Caldwell's topic in Plants, Algaes, and Fertilizers
When I was keeping marine aquariums, I got it a few times, and I would remove what I could, and then stir the sand to bury the rest. I don't know if what I did with the sand was recommended or not, as my only source of information was my local fish store. If it is just on that decoration, you could simply remove it, and scrub it. We have to deal with outbreaks on on Lake Champlain. According to the Vermont Cyanobacteria Tracker: "Cyanobacteria grow well in water that has high amounts of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen. Cyanobacteria can multiply quickly to form surface scums and dense populations known as blooms, especially during the warm days of late summer and early fall." This makes me think that you might have excess nutrients, and that heat may play a part. I'm sure that there are other forum members with more knowledge on this topic and they should be able to add more about treatment and biochemistry. -

Best camera for fish vids and pics?
Streetwise replied to Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics's topic in General Discussion
I have bought a few different video cameras, but I keep pulling out my iPhone for all my impromptu photos and videos. A good phone camera is always nice to have because it is always with you. I’m tempted by the new iPhones with magnetic lens mounts. For a quality webcam, I love the Logitech Brio 4K. Other folks will have more suggestions for dedicated cameras. -

What would be in your unfiltered aquarium?
Streetwise replied to Kirsten's topic in General Discussion
As Daniel alludes, with enough plants, your inhabitants will be fine. I could keep all of my Nano fish, and Neo Shrimp tanks without filters. I like sponge filters for moving water, and collecting things in foam, including beneficial bacteria. I mostly top-off, and rarely change water. I don't plan on cleaning my sponge filters. They are part of the scavenger buffet.- 16 replies
