Can someone please help me identifying this algae ?
This is in a very new tank (10 days) and the algae appeared on the 6th or 7th day. It isn't cycled yet. The tank is about 100L.
Algae description :
- Dark brownish-greyish depending on the light intensity
- Very easy to remove with finger or toothbrush
- Reappear super rapidly after manual removal (1day)
- All plants and rocks have it, sometimes a lot sometimes just a little
My parameters :
- Light : 50W of pure light baby, 8 hours a day (Chihiros A801)
Keep in mind that it is a non-cycled tank. Also, I use Ada Amazonia soil, so this is why my Kh is low. I'm also injection Co².
Thank you guys !
