FishyFishy! Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have a small 10 Gallon thats in my bedroom. Recently it has started to grow this odd grey hair like algae. I assume some sort of hair algae, but would like some confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Is it tough and not slimy? If so it is Cladophora. Pretty easy to get rid of, water changes and more circulation usually cures it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgd Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Toothbrush and a twirl, remove as much as you can manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remove the fake plants and get it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
