Green Dust Algae

Chlorophyta spp.

algaefreshwater

Fine, powdery green coating on the glass that wipes off easily but returns quickly. Different from Green Spot Algae — much softer and more responsive to physical removal. A large clean-up crew (nerites, Mystery snails, Otocinclus) keeps it in check. Usually a sign of moderate light excess.

Green Spot Algae

Coleochaete orbicularis

algaefreshwater

Hard, dark green circles on glass and slow-growing plant leaves — familiar to virtually every planted tank keeper. Caused by low phosphate (counterintuitively) and high light. Nerite snails are the most effective control. A small amount is considered normal and harmless.

Green Water (Algae Bloom)

Chlorella spp.

algaefreshwater

Pea-soup green tank water caused by a bloom of free-floating unicellular algae. Usually triggered by a combination of high nutrients and direct sunlight. A UV steriliser will clear it within days. A 3-day blackout is an alternative. Daphnia (water fleas) can be added to a fishless tank as biological control.

Hair Algae

Oedogonium sp.

algaefreshwater

Fine, bright-green strands that drape over plants and hardscape. One of the most common new-tank algae — usually caused by excess light, nutrient imbalance, or lack of fast-growing plants competing for nutrients. Nerite snails, Amano shrimp, and Florida Flagfish make short work of it.
