What Algae is this?

[malx]

It's in my office tank to hold some small fish for observation. My phosphates are a bit high at .24ppm, slowly reducing them with Red Sea NO3 PO4. Will also do a water change and change carbon this week on separate days.

P.S. We should have a section for just algae and algae removal.

Yeah would be best to turn your whites on and then take video hard to see in blue. Is it the stuff moving around or the stuff on the bottom of tank you are worried about? If it's the stringy stuff my best bet would be green hair algae.

Tomorrow I'm going to rip it out. I can't turn just whites on.

Maybe just use flashlight to shine on them. Get a better pic. If it looks like grapes on a vine it's caulerpa. If it's green and stringy like hair it's GHA that's all if we are talking about the stuff moving in the current. Just remove what it's attached to scrub it with a tooth brush rinse and should be good.

I'm going to leave it for now. Nutrients in my tank have dropped over the past three days and it's not gotten any bigger.
