Which one did you buy please?

This is my current lighting data......

What algae are these please and how do I remove them? Photo 1 and 2: This reddish, velvety looking one is growing on my heater, filter/pump pipe, wood and plants. Photo 3: This bluey green one is in-between the glass and the sand.

Just found this worm in the substrate of my shrimp tank. It is a yellowy colour and approx 40mm long. Does anyone know what it is please?

Might be a silly question but what's a refrector? That's a shame that they didn't survive. My husband really wants to give it a try, he said we've got nothing to lose because the fish would eat them anyway if they stay in the tank.

How did you get on in the end? I currently have Amano shrimps with eggs and wondered whether to give it a go to set up a tank to rear them

Thanks for your replies.... I haven't got a photo of the algae unfortunately as I've already cleaned it off. It wasn't an overwhelming amount, I'd just like to add something to help maintain it going forward. It's just the ordinary algae that you get on the glass. Hope this helps

Any suggestions which algae eaters I could add to my 260L (UK) tank please? The tank is mature, well planted, has wood and pleco caves and sand substrate. Must be compatible to live with.... Cardinal tetras Marbled hatchet fish Black schultzei corydoras Giant fan shrimp Amano shrimp Red cherry...

Thank you

Thank you. That's how I wanted it to look in my tank 🙂 The sand currently looks like this...... Is that how yours started off?
