Knew tooth is Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 How do I get rid of the algae on the substrate (see photos)? Nerites, Cory's, and Octocinclus pass it by. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 When I have algae on my substrate I gravel vac. It seems to work the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That algae looks like cyanobacteria, also known as blue green algae. The Co-Op blog has good post on how to get rid of it. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/blue-green-algae?_pos=8&_sid=c9dd1186f&_ss=r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkG Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Because of the special colour (at least typically) I have managed to spot it very early in my tank and just vac it. In my case it really stands out. I hope you'll get it under control without too much hassle 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
