Post subject:  Algae growth on sides - but crystal clear wate

Hi All,

Water is crystal clear but I have a deak green stringy algae about 1cm long attached to the sides. Is it something I need to worry about? Should I try and remove?

thanks.

I'll try and get a picture soon.

Thanks Jamie ! I have silver perch (approx 15 in a ~700L water -ibc, 1 bath growbed at this stage). It may explain why they have gone off their food a little since this stuff has appeared.

thanks

algae is cool. Often a great source of DHA for fish anyway. =) Don't some people deliberately feed their fish green water? full of algae and micro organisms....
