I’ll go try to scoop some in a second. It has no odor at all. If it has no smell, does that mean it’s regular algae?It doesn't look as dark as what I've seen, but I've seen it in ponds and fish tanks. You could try scooping some up- does it stick to itself with a thick, mucous-y texture? Does it have a distinctive odor?
Is there anything else I need to look at to be sure?It's probably not the dreaded BGA, then. The stuff is pretty pungent, IME.
It's probably just run of the mill algae, thenOk! I’ve been watching it for a few weeks trying to determine what it is, and I haven’t noticed much growth! I’m just making sure with the experts! Thank you very much!
