please can you tell me what algae this is please. I’m taking a bucket a day out of my p 60 tank a day. 🤪
Hello grumpyLooks like diatoms (brown) algae to this novice.
Algae guide
How long has your tank been setup?
Best way to get rid of it is to get some Bladder and Ramshorn snails. But if it is a new setup then it is normal.
Maybe if you put all the details of your setup, then one of the experts will see something else that is out of kilter.
"Pump size and flow rate, Substrate, Age of setup, Temp, Lighting, Lighting period, number and type of plants, Fertilizer type and dosing, CO₂ or not, Fish types or none and probably other things I have missed".
Hope that puts you on the right track to solve your algae issue (I find it very disheartening when you spend hours setting up and then the dreaded algae outbreak happens).
That is still a pretty immature tank. Diatom algae are very common in new/immature tanks - they will eventually fade away - keep up the maintenance and keep the tank stable.tank has been planted for 40 days now
Thank you. Will shrimp eat the type of algae?That is still a pretty immature tank. Diatom algae are very common in new/immature tanks they will eventually fade away - keep up the maintenance and keep the tank stable.

Amano's will, if they don't have much access to other/better food sources, and the 4 you have may not make much of a dent anyway.Thank you. Will shrimp eat the type of algae?
