Blobby algae…

[The Masked Shadow]

what is this?

The green stuff?

Looks like the start of Cyanobacteria.
Does it feel slimy, or gritty?
Cyanobacteria feels slimy, and may come off in sheets with simple finger pressure..
Most other algae is a bit grittier., and may need a razor blade to come off clean.

Cyano for sure. The rid x method is popular, chemiclean did the trick for me. It would probably help to get some sort of sand sifter for the tank to keep it from settling.

I mean the white blobby thing in the back. Is it more cyano? I’m dosing monthly with rid-x to control bba and CITA Cyanobacteria

The whitish blob is probably fish food, just suck it out with a siphon.

 

[The Masked Shadow]

Huh. It decomposed or something?

my 55 gallon had really bad algae but it went away for some reason

Algae does come and go in natural cycles.

Lots of molds and bacteria and fungi probably growing on it.

You also need to cut back on lighting period to no more than 2 hours a day.
