Hi Folks,
I've been battling a few varieties of algae in my 30gal aquarium. Some of it is the usual tiny green spots on the glass, maybe a little yellow patch here and there.
On the advice of some folks with respect to lowering nitrates WHILE combating algae, I allowed the algae unchecked growth on a large lava rock formation in my tank.
Well, this red fuzzy algae kept growing: onto my plants, other decorations, and now even my snails.
QUESTION: Will this algae growth on their shells eventually harm the snails? And recommendations as to how I might rid the shells of this algae?
Thanks,
Mike
