Other Turtle Discussion :: Algae

[Sir Max]

I got quite a bit of algae on my corkbark i put in a month or so ago

just where the water touches..none on the dry parts

i got nothing to worry about right?

Nope. What I do is take my plants and other things that have algae on them out of the tank every once in a while and scrub as much of it off as I can.

The UVB is what makes the algae grow. If you use an above tank basking area, then clean off all of the algae you can see, you most likely will not have algae in your tank anymore.
