 algae info
Hi all! Does anyone know of a good site that gives some detail info of algae with photos of what it looks like?
Tank starting to have an outburst of algae growth, I think mainly was because I changed my lighting to PC 96 watts for my 30 gallons. I reduced the "on" time to about 7 hrs now, and my nitrate is around 10 ppm. Also I am starting to change water every week, but that doesn't seem to correct the problem.
The algae that I want to get rid of stays the bottom of the substrate forming a mat, it is dark red/brown in color, and some get kinda big that looks like seaweeds that floating in water while it's anchor in the substrate. Are theses red slime algae?? [smiley=help.gif]
