Ratbag Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi Guys Ive been stalking you guys for awhile now and I love you informative site. I have a 240l Aquaone tank with guppies and tetras in in. My problem is I have got this black sticky hairy sludge like slime growing all over my plants and tank. Im thinking of ditching all of the plants and starting again, but how do I stop it com in back? We are on tank water and I do weekly water changes. Thanks in advance!

GrahamC Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Guessing you're talking about black beard algae .. but a picture would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Or, if it is like a dark green sheet, it is cyanobacter. I would not describe it as hairy though so perhaps you have two separate problems. Any chance of a pic before we start offering advice?
