Blog: Algae

Filamentous algae can be incredibly annoying. It often starts as a small strand in the middle of the current, and before you know it, all your plants are covered in filamentous algae, and you're tearing them apart with the strands. That's certainly not the intention, so in this blog post (and video), I'll explain what filamentous algae is, the cause, and how to treat it for both aquariums and ponds.

After two weeks, aquarium plants can sometimes be overtaken by a brown algae bloom. This can seem alarming, but fortunately, the problem is easily solved. The brown algae creates a kind of haze over the aquarium plants.
