I have 3 koralias in with my wild discus. They don't mind it one bit and as ed says, the water is circulated really well and not so concentrated like a filter outlet. I have also experienced some hair algae recently and since adding 2 more pumps its really helped circulate those dead spots...

Thanks, I might consider some type of algae eater, not sure on what type though at the moment.. Waiting on the hydor pumps so will have 3 around the tank to help flow, hopefully that will help If it returns I will try and get some sent to you to confirm what it is, thanks for the help Rgds...

Managed to get to work today.. (and left already :) ) Here are some pictures i have taken of it, It was longer in some areas, but i trimmed them before i took these. I have trimmed the affected areas, doing 2 large water changes over the next few days, and i have blacked out the tank...

Tank is at my work, il take some tomorrow and post them

Thanks, I am hesitant to say its definitely Spirogyra after looking online, unfortunately i do not have a microscope. My water is soft as i use RO and HMA filters for my discus, might add extra HMA filtered water and i think i have some seachem equilibrium. I am going to trim the tenellus its...

That is good news. I haven't touched the layout in months so i could probably rule that out. I am hoping its a flow problem. Going to wait a few days and if it continues the tank will get a black out.

Sounds it, hopefully the better flow and removing it manually will help with a few big WCs. The flow theory also makes sense as it has occurred in areas with low flow only.

Di you get rid of it 100%? Its very concentrated at the moment so hopefully i have caught it early.. Wont be getting much work done next week :P James

Thanks I will give all the suggestions a go. I have about 10 days till i pick up my new wilds so fingers crossed i will eradicate it by then. Rgds, James

Its quite possible that it is Anyone got tips of ridding it?

It does seem the likely cause. I have ordered a couple of koralia 1 pumps and will have them on Tuesday, so hopefully that will help. Now just got to get rid of the offending bits, excel doesn't help :( Might see if i can "borrow" some foxes from my LFS

Where it occurs not great. It has started on the left of the tenellus lawn & high up by the ferns.. The right of the lawn has good flow because of a separate filter.

Hi all, I have just noticed that my discus tank has started to get some very long strands ( 4 - 5+") of fine green hair algae. It is manageable but a real pain as usual. I cant work out what is the cause. Lighting is low, only T5s for 7.5hrs/day, co2 is at a high level and i am dosing as...

Try spot dosing, after my co2 ran out i had some bba on my ferns, spot dosed excel for 2 days now and the bba has a slight hint of red to it
