As you can see black beard algae has taken over the tank during the year. I do like it for some reason, but it will have to go.

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how do clean that? I bet it's something with the lighting where the aquarium is located.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Heather, an old uv light is used to light this tank and the uv light just gets the algae growing. It would probably be easier to get a fish that feeds on the algae then to try to remove it.
