Well, my tank recently came down with an algea problem for some reason. This algea is green and floats on the top of the water. It looks like boiled spinach mixed with air bubbles or froth.
The sides of the tank are covered with bubbles and a green coating. No hair algea. I have changed the water, but it comes back with a vengence. Recently, in the morning a froth floats on the top of the tank.
I think I need a new light. I have been running my 250 watt MH 6500K bulb for a long time. I think a color shift may be affecting the algea growth. If it continues I will have to scrap the tank and clean it from top to bottom.
The protein skimmers (CPR Bak Paks) are covered in thick algea and are starting to foam on the return line.
Any ideas what it is or how to defeat this menace.
