Rypa Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Greetings: I'm new to the forum, happy to be here. Photo attached, this is a tough, well attached "thing" has recently invaded my 15 gallon bowl tank. Is this staghorn algae and does anyone have solutions? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Yes. It’s algae. Hair or staghorn. Remove by hand. But don’t let it bother you too much. Probably too much light to avoid it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Beautiful tank! It looks like staghorn algae. Can you reduce the lighting at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypa Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Thank you for the replies ❤️ My bowls are in my sunroom with the plants and they fit so well in there, but I fear this is going to be a problem as my other bowl has become green-water. I will try lights off (now that the sun is shining in Washington). Don't want to move them so I'll pick away at it! Once beautiful PNW bowl is now green water (see attached) 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
