    I don't know what this brown stuff is so I am asking here. The first time it showed up I used a tank brush to scrub it away but 2 weeks later a new batch is in my tank. I don't know what to do to stop or prevent it so any help would be appreciated greatly.

    Hello everyone! This is my first planted aquarium and I need some tips. I’ve had it for almost a month and it just keeps getting this brown hairy algae that I have to keep removing it. What is it and what can I do for it? I have a light on for about 8 hours a day for the plants but is it too much?

    I noticed today this odd, orangeish-red stuff on the leaves in my betta’s tank. Kinda looks like rust. There’s also the very dark algae next to it on the leaves if you can see that as well. What is this stuff? Should I take the whole decoration out and scrub it?

    So just a day or two ago I noticed a bit of purple stuff growing the suction cup of my thermometer, and a very very tiny amount on the suction cup of my leaf hammock, in the tank. I assumed it was algae, but I don’t have much experience with algae. I’m just wondering if it is algae, but more...

    Hi everyone- This green stuff has started showing up in the corner of my tank that the lamp is by. Is it algae? Is there a fix? It doesn’t wipe off the silk plants easily and doesn’t come off the gravel when vacuumed. I don’t mind the look of it as long as it’s safe.

My betta right now...
