    I voted no due to the fact that I only get a little between the sand and glass but none in the main tank. I have alot in the fuge due to low flow rate

    Common name for it is blue-green algae or red-slime algae. I know it's full name cyanobacteria makes its definition a no brainer, but for the sake of 90% of this forum, it's lumped in with the algae. Let's not try to flex our interweb muscles ;)
