I am having a problen finding info on the algae in my tank. It is lime green and purple and is spread out like a blanket. Is it bad or what is it? Any help would be great. I have a 250 watt halide for a 55 gal. is that part of the problem?
Please provide your water parameters and how long the tank has been established. If your tank is relatively new it could be a diatom bloom, which is perfectly normal. Post back more specific info so everyone can give you a better answer.
I don't think diatoms come in a purple or green color but I could be wrong. I would check your phosphates and start with that. I would also be curious as to wether you use RO or Tap water and if you have tested your tap water. Also how long has this tank been up and running?
