Gouldian Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I believe they are green spot algae, only way to remove them is scrapping them. Cleaning the glass daily with a good magnet glass cleaner helps in preventing them getting a foothold on your glass and using Phosphate removers to absorbs their good source.

Gouldian Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Looking at your pic the second time, it may also be some form of coralines rather than cynobacteria.

Well the problem is, my tank is 25mm thick, the only solution i have now is using scotchbrite kitchen sponge scrub gently to prevent scratches. I believe they are coralines algae as my P04 is currently undetectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
