Algae appreciation

[Hybridfish7]

Post your algae pics. I take pride in my ability to grow good algae in my tanks. Helps round out the aesthetic. I will only settle for "slice of nature" with my scapes. Here is my septemfasciata tank:












Little bite marks from where the fish have been grazing:

Too many hobbyists are quick to whinge and whine about algae but the truth is it plays its part in the wellbeing of your tank, and gives it a more natural vibe, which is what we all crave for the inhabitants, right?

The back three panels of my hex tank are caked in algae and i love it. The fish pick at it, it makes the tank look more natural and It helps keep my nitrates at 0ppm on this tank too which is another plus for algae.

I will not be posting any photos here as I have no algae in any of my tanks and due to them being located in my dim basement they just don't receive anywhere near enough light during the day.I have always been a fan of some good algae growth though,especially the grassy looking type that waves in the current.....nice photos btw!
