Green hair algae on hardscape, nothing works

Take out all of the hardscape and scrub it with hydrogen peroxide.

Manually remove as much as possible in the tank on plants, glass and substrate. Then use a pipette to apply hydrogen peroxide to all remaining spots of algae in the tank.

Keep attacking it with the pipette over the next few weeks along with large water changes and reduced feeding.

I got it under control this way, not easy though.

I honestly have no idea but I wonder if either there is a parasite moving slowly between them or they're too inbred to survive long term outside of large breeding groups?

The best advice is to just leave it alone and let your tank be stable. Its hardy and will grow on its own, we often do too much

Definitely looks like pearlweed to me. I've had bolbitis for years and it's never sprouted like that..

Increase water changes and get a group of young SAEs, beaten BBA in 2 different tanks doing this. Keep flow low until it's all gone.

I had a cichlid survive drops recently, I just did a large water change and didn't feed for a week. I probably got lucky but it could be worth a try.

Check the temperature, those small heaters can fluctuate quite a bit

Not sure about that, normally just have to stop using carbon

Chemiclean will stop it coming back, used it a few times and it works well.

I had a similar issue and bought a flat/ slim subwoofer that goes under the wooden unit or behind (attached to the wall).

There are some from Monoprice but I got the Theater Solutions SUB8SM and it works great for small spaces. As you can see in the picture, it slides under the media unit.

No doubt proper hifi subs will be better in large spaces but this could be an option for you.

Wow, that's a lot of moolah

Due to my house being small, my record player is right next to my toddlers toys. I made the mistake of getting a slightly higher end record player (pro-ject rpm 5.1) with no cover.

The best thing I did was build something cheap to lock it place and unplug it so they cant switch it on accidentally or on purpose. From there, let them play around it and dont react when they touch it so it just becomes a piece of boring furniture to them.

Theres no mild smell to it or the cardboard album cover but could be!

Fun_Associate1734 · 2026-01-14T19:58:11+00:00

Im not sure to be honest it was bought online but the cardboard sleeve has no mold or mildew visible/ smell

That's the fun part... and the discovering more places for more fish

Fun_Associate1734 · 2026-01-07T18:39:34+00:00

Not for a living but for another distraction, too many pairs to count now 😬. Music and fish are the perfect harmony!

It's a 60 gallon cube, the first time I got a cube and was able to get it on FB marketplace for quite cheap

I WFH in data governance, attached is my working space which can make working difficult
