Red Hair Algae

by Dan Perry on December 21, 2009

Some days I am sorry I started a salt water tank.

Lately it has been one of those months.  Contrast it to my fresh water tank – the darn thing is almost maintenance free.  Something always seems to be going on in our marine tank however.

The image below looks about what I am fighting currently.  It’s starting to break out in a portion of my sand bed as well.  The stuff on the sand bed is most likely cyano algae.  I am going to pick up another power head today and toss in there.  The stuff seems to be limited to just one area of the tank – and I am sure there is not much flow in that area.
