Algae bloom
 

Hey guys what type of algae is this? And how do I get rid of it?

Sorry, I can't tell what we're looking at in the pic. What colour it is, how old it the tank , what is your lighting schedule?

I see an acro :)

must get my eyes checked again

The tank is about 14 months old. I have the lights on for 12 hours a day. 6 HO fluorescents. Here is another pic.

I see a Gyre mounted on the ceiling.

Time for a Photobucket or Flikr account to upload pics me thinks.

possibly Calothrix

I had some of that recently and got rid of it by adding some Trochus snails to eat it and increasing the dosage of Foz Down to get rid of Phosphate in the tank. 2 weeks later it's gone.

Thanks timt I'll go and grab some of that product today
