I have nightmares about BBA

Had an experience with BBA. A piece of wood branch was in the direct path of my filter outlet, and BBA started to grow on it prolifically. I moved the branch out of the way, and the BBA discoloured and died in a week.
I was thinking, "Blimey, that was easy!"
Hi all,
Not so sure about the single dreadlock on the left, but they could work on it?

Same for me, I usually only get visible BBA where <"there is plenty of flow"> - <"Algae after vacation ! Need to revive">.
I <"quite like"> the contrast between the Green Spot Algae and the imperial purple BBA, although I understand that this might be a <"minority view">.

Hi all,
UKAPS is full of cultural references <"The scientific background to the "Leaf Colour Chart"">, <"calling ceg4048"> & <"Stupid lightning question">.
Personally? From now on my <"morning routine"> will have changed to include some enthusiastic dancing to the <"Time Warp (song) - Wikipedia">*
*This may not be quite how things play out.

You are fine.

Ha, love it.
I am moderately considering a micro algae tank. I'm sure there's something cool that can be done, but I bet it would actually be harder to get algae growing in expected places than with plants. I would love to see micro algae competition tank
Hi all,
I really like these <"What's the science behind this back glass algae?">, <"is it weird to actually like some algae?">& <"Awesome algae! What is this?">
cheers Darrel
I think you are <"probably right">. Several people have grown, <"really unusual">, algae accidently <"Taiwan Bee not so nano">.

BBA would be a tricky one for this, as we don't really know what causes it to grow and it could <"just mysteriously detach">. There are some other <"gorgeous Red Algae">, but I don't know if they suffer from "mysterious detach" in the same manner.

Recently introduced 8 stiphodon ornatus into my tank and caught them several times chewing on the BBA...

Well, probably you should sometimes do water changes, especially given that you are planning to overstock by quite a margin, with not recommended fish, in a small tank with a tiny stock filter. Also 27degc is not a good move.
I mean, I'm no guru...
Though tbf I ran that tank with a baffle on the HOB which possibly would have helped with BBA to leave on

I wish it was always that easy with BBA 😁

Hi all,
While you are waiting, some mesmeric video:

You just need to tell it how much you like it, and pay it a <"few compliments">, and it <"will instantly detach">.
