Hi everybody,
I'm currently experiencing some algae problem and I wonder which may be the reasons...
The situation is really not that bad since I have only some spots on my tenellus, I think it's red algae (dark roundish spots).
What should I do and does anybody knows if this kind of algae propagates quickly or not.

Thanks for your help

Are you sure its red algae and not brown algae? I've personally never seen red algae form in spots.

Well I'm not quiet sure about it since it's the first time that I have such a problem, however the description in the following link :

under the chapter "brush algae" (which is reported to be actually a red algae) matches pretty well with my situation.

Bye
