Admiraltian Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Looks like green slime algae or Cyanobacteria. U need to check your phosphate levels.

Admiraltian Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Bro,I m using dd test kit,colour in between of 0.04 and 0.08 range Most of the time u can't get a good reading on phosphate test kits due to the algae absorbing it. In any case, its alw gd to perform more WC & run a phosphate remover media in FR.
