Speckled Green Algae Help PICS

I just recently started growing pink algae in my tank. Just like all prior tanks of mine that grew pink algae, I started growing this speckled green algae too. It doesn't come off with my tank scrubber and my 200+ snails don't help any either. What is it and how can I fight it?

 

I will bump this because I have the same thing

 

are you talking about the pink circle on the glass in the sec pic? if so its coraline that mean your tank is doing good

 

no small specs of green, at least that what I think the ops is saying they are very hard to remove from the glass

 

Its just film algae. I think we all have that. A lot of times it gets to tough to take off with a magfloat and you have to scrape it with a razor. Most of us just accept having it and clean it regularly.

Ways to stop it or at least slow it down is having low nutrients on your water.

 

I was thinking about using a razor blade but some of it is closer to the silicone and I dont want to knick that

 

I don't scrape up to the silicone but take the razor and set it close to the silicone and pull. Most of the time it works well.

 

I use a kent scraper personally. Go slow and you can get to the edge of the silicon without problems.

 

thanks I hope this helps the OP as well, sorry for the hijack

 

I took a stiff bristle tooth brush, cut about half the length off of the bristles and use small circles. It comes off pretty easy.
