THANK YOU! I've got this algae, and I've been watching "hair algea" videos for two weeks now, and you are THE FIRST one I found that named the algae in my tank, explained the source (sand and marble in a new tank) and told me it will also go away. THANK YOU! Now I'll be more careful about stirring up the sand on the bottom also just to be safer.

No problem, glad to have helped! This one grows so quickly... it definitely feels a little alarming seeing it arrive 😳
