Anyone enjoy the look of green algae?

I hate diatoms but I can live with this look!!



Just wish It stayed I decor and not the glass lol. I guess it helps a bit with nitrates so I can deal.

I love it when it grows on rocks and wood and looks like seaweed.I don't have any since I don't keep my lights on enough to grow any.

I love that.
had already been wondering lately if there is a way to limit the areas hit by lights, similar to "spotlight" growth for plants & algae areas in tanks, to get the best of both worlds ;-)

There could be with special lighting.

A regular shop light with a regular incandescent bulb can give you that look. Point it at a spot and leave the light on. All for under $10

A little bit of algae definitely has a nice natural appearance to it. The problem usually is...if conditions are correct for algae growth...it's hard to maintain the algae at an esthetically pleasing level.
