SO......I've been fighting algae for a solid 4 months now. What I would like to understand is how my algae changes and what it might mean.
I started with a terrible outbreak of stringy brown hair algae that covered every surface. After trying a few things over several months, I ended up with thick green carpets of hair algae on most of the rocks, and still stringy brown stuff on the glass and sand. Now....I am back to the stringy brown HA covering everything, no green stuff.
What does this mean? Am I fighting two different kinds of HA, one brown, one green? Or is this the same stuff that is going through different growth stages? I would LIKE to think that it is the same stuff and the brown stage is its weak and unhealthy kind, on its way out the door.
What I'm terribly afraid of is that I've come full circle with NO progress whatsoever.
Any thoughts?
