Black looking algae?
I see plenty of algae growing in my tank in a variety of colors some looks black? I was just wondering if there was any kind of algae that's not good to have in your tank? Everything seems to be going great

Not sure why I didn't think to do that in the first place lol
I can't tell if it's on other surfaces but I can see it on some of the calcium pebbles like this. It's only on a few of them

Re: Black looking algae?
Is that the only area it's in? Do it look slimy? I was think maybe cyanobacteria?

Is it still there? Yes, it could be some kind of algal/bacterial growth. They come in all kinds of colors.

Yes. At first it seemed to be spreading but now it's not. Everything has been stable for a bit now so I'm assuming it's harmless.
