David Housewright Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I haven't seen this algae well labeled online. it doesn't have the hair that I see with the black beard algae. any ideas of what it is and how to get rid of it? started just on the anubius shown here, and now I am seeing it on a few other plants in the tank like another anubius and some on an amazon sword. thanks in advance, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Lower light intensity. Increase water changes. Remove excessive organics. Dose a liquid carbon to temporarily remove the ugly.

I wasn't sure since it really doesn't have the hair that I see in some of the pictures, but that website certainly shows exactly what I have. I have lowered the level on my lights so hopefully that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
