Are you dealing with an algae onslaught in your tank? Have you read algae treatment guides that really didn't seem to offer a workable treatment for dealing with your algae problem? Have you given up on planted tanks altogether becasue of all of the algae problems? Have you read 100's of queries on the forums over the years from people suffering from algae problems and wish that the answers could be simplified?

Do you want to be famous on the website/Aquarium World magazine with published photos? :happy2:

We are in need of some original images of freshwater tank algae for a guide that we are developing about identifying algae and dealing with algae problems. These photos need to be fairly good in terms of being able to clearly identify the type of algae and you need to own the rights to the images. You will get full credit for the photos (if you wish) when they are published on the website/magazine.

If you think you might have a good photo, send it to me now at the email below. The more photos we have, the better the resource we can develop and the sooner we can make it available for all to benefit!

I'll see if I can get some clear photos of the staghorn in mine now.

Oh, wait, these were rhetorical questions? :sage:

I can get clear photo's of green spot and dust algae if your interested, Personally I like algae growing on rockwork and wood - looks natural

I'm so glad I fought to get that smiley added, I had a feeling you would like it Ira.

Yes please!

Excellent! Thanks!

All photos welcome!

I had some 'nice' BBA last week but it has died off somewhat this week, but I do have a small patch of short hair-like algae about 5mm long (Oedogonium?) that I'm growing slowly in my 50 odd L tank and some Spirogyra? in my bug tank.

EDIT: Oh and you are welcome to use any of the photos I have posted in the native section for the fish pages

Excellent!

Does anyone have any photos of green dust algae and green spot algae?

I do have pics of green spot, but the fish detract from the algae - making it more a poor pic of a fish, than a good pic of the algae.

Would this be green spot algae? It's the only algae I have.

Send it, better than nothing!

No, not really. Nice pic tho. Green spot on the glass is more what I am looking for. Hard to get a good pic of it tho.

Best I could come up with. I can't remember the last time I had algae on the glass. It's been probably 7-8 years since I used an algae magnet.

I've emailed you some, but these aren't attached.

Thank you! Does anyone have an algae bloom (green water)?

are these any help? I can send you the originals. It's hard to get a good shot with my little camera.

I've got an awesome photo somewhere of what happens when you leave the tank lights on for a week, will have a look for it when I get home

I'll take some pics tomorrow of the green spot algae on the glass, its a newish tank and the spots are kinda big in places so should show up pretty well (I haven't cleaned it off for a wee while )

Tried to email you pictures but email returns saying unable to deliver bla bla..

I used the email in your signature

Really? That's odd. Never had that happen before. Try the email address here: If that doesn't work, I will PM you an alternate address. Don't ask why I have so many email addresses either... :nilly:

BTW, thanks for the pic guys, keep 'em commin!

I have more email addresses than you, Jen!

And why do you post this AFTER I have just cleaned out my overlit tank of green hairy soup?

Also check you have not used up your mailbox allocation, you may need to shift a few things out.

More than 5 email addresses?? Ugh...

Btw, I am sure you can scrounge up some algae to photograph for me!

Jennifer, I sent you an email this morning then remembered that I didn't use my forum ID in it...

So anyway here are a couple of photos:

nzbeeman, on Flickr

oops

Great pics! Hee hee never been so happy about seeing algae before! :happy2:

Any algae blooms out there?? Or really long thread algae?

Here's my tank after leaving the lights on for a week when I went on holiday

I would have killed my self if I came home to that.
