Algae? Maybe BBA?

[ericwithac]

Just trying to confirm my thoughts that this is black beard algae. I know there are many posts on getting rid of BBA, however, any links to threads regarding this would be amazing!

Thanks all!

Looks like BBA to me.

Thanks for the post! I'm dealing with those little tufts myself... ?

I think the one-two punch is too aggressive of a treatment for small bits of bba. First and foremost, you should address the root cause. Perhaps too much light and not enough carbon (ie. CO2)? Anyways, I find spot treatment with H2O2 to be an effective treatment.

H202 really kicks that stuff out.. i agree the root cause always needs to be addressed first and foremost.

OP asked for any links?
The one two is not one everyone will find.
Do those little tufts need it?NO!
The H2O2 works great and Glut is on many keepers daily dose list anyways.
It is BBA yes?
Here's a good link on H2O2 dosing in aquarium.
