Discover the Hidden Power of Algae
Рет қаралды 68,068
Күн бұрынAquarium algae is your best friend. There are 1,000s of types of algae so you might as well pick out a favorite. Although many algae are bad actors, most are pretty harmless.
The harmless algae can be found mostly in the green algae classification. There are thousands of algae in this group and they are differentiated by their appearance.
Shrimp, Snails and Ostracods eat green algae. Examples of green algae include green water. Green water is wonderful and looks worse than it actually is. Another example of a green algae is spot algae. This is a single celled algae the grows into a colony.
Algae is a sign that your aquarium is alive and that nutrients are present. But the down side to these algae are the cynobacteria algae. The algae are nasty and you do not want them in your aquarium at all.
There are exotic algae like golden algae and bird bath algae (red algae) that serve many useful purposes to both fish keepers and humans. So, you see, algae is your friend, not your enemy.

What I used to do was put a piece of blunt glass outside in a bucket in direct sunlight. I'd let it sit there for a while to build up a nice mat of algae then I'd pick it up and place it in my tank. The various kinds of pleco *loved* it, they would in a few hours completely clean it off. You could see how excited they got when they were near the glass.

Breaking all the rules so congrats and off topic you've earned them. I started with ponds, ended up with tanks as a 10 year old. Never even knew what a test kit was. By the time I was a teenager, I had made my parents' house sound like a spa. Tanks replaced TV's, and friends all got tanks. Wed watch tanks not tv. Just had ug filters, at first. OMG! friend's had all these fandango stuff. Theirs died, mine thrived as I had little ponds. Tanks breed quicker than fish. Algae, mmm kept front clean. I'LL SHOW MYSELF OUT. Cheers for all the wisdom.

why dont i get any algae ? is my tank lacking nutrients???
@Jen.K 7 ай бұрын
@@sandidsaman7723 overgrowth of algae is usually caused by a combination of light and nutrients, usually light. You can put a bucket of water outside in direct sunlight with no nutrients and within a few days it starts growing algae, in a few weeks, if you keep replenishing the water, it becomes completely green. Put that same bucket in the shade and it will take much longer to see any green starting to develop. If you want some algae, get a better, stronger light, or move your tank closer to a window where it can get some sunlight.

I once had some orange hair algae show up in a natural tropical tank I was doing. At first I thought it was synthetic fiber but upon closer inspection it looked like orange hair algae( had lots of green hair algae in the tank at that time). There was only ever a small amount of the orange but it was growing. Don’t know if it was a mutation or just an algae I had never seen before.

Its perfect there are live tiny food in the tank I tip all my fish eggs in these tanks and forget about them till I see the babies. They eat the little bugs and they feed on the ugly protien film on the top and I don't have to feed them at all till they get a bit bigger. I only clean front glass and pull hair algea out because I have had small fish get stuck in it before. I do not like blue green and cyanobac because some forms release toxins but theres a snail in Australia that will eat it called waterhouse snails I don't see it very often though.

I’ve heard it said that algaes can be from over feeding. I’m only feeding every other day or every 3rd day, what the fish will eat immediately. No nitrates, the tank is heavily planted with a 4” substrate.

Otherwise I also have a couple of types of swords, anubias, dwarf red lily, alternanthera reineckii super red, Java moss, subwassertang, dwarf baby tears, Amazon frogbit, duck weed, salvinia for floating plants on top.

Hi there , I've been thinking about two filtration systems, also about algae, snails plants and shell fish. I thought if it would be beneficial, add an undergravel filter, which had some synthetic fiber fabric, maybe a thin layer of sponge to prevent the soil from penetrating, then add coarse sand, and above the sand a layer of very small round pebbles, and then the rocks, sticks or drifting wood, and the plants; and the other filter I thought of would be the compartment filter behind the rear glass wall of the aquarium with dofeentes mayerias like onion bags, expanded clay, large and small round pebbles, coal, coarse sand there to add a transparent hose to bring the water to pass through an ultra violet lamp, to kill the algae spores, returning the water back to the aquarium, add aeration stones, in the transparent acrylic tubes that would take air to the undergravel filter; also add some shell fish to the bottom of the aquarium to help with filtration. I have a question about snails eating plants, and what is your opinion on an aquarium like this? Thanks in advance for your time.... .....I will be waiting for your reply. God bless you.........

I have some cyano bacteria growing on the back and sides of the tank. At least I believe that’s what it is. It’s an acrylic tank and the only thing that will get it off is a credit card. It’s not like how you described. Is that because it adheres to acrylic better than rocks? Would you suggest I remove it from the back and sides of the tank too? Thanks again.

my bristlenose doesnt seem to eat those hair algae. Maybe it is still young . Its a small size bristlenose. I wish my water is suitable for shrimps. Those fellas did a great job in cleaning up my tank!

@father fish - all my levels are great. And fish are doing well but I’m getting extremely high levels of phosphates consistently in my tub pond. Fish are doing well, just worried about prolonged high levels. What should I do? Thanks ib ln advance! Love all the knowledge you share with us!

You should stop inventing things to worry about. Research the role of phosphates in the cycle.
