Every summer the marina turns a vibrant turf green. I've been told the marine birds consume it all. I'm not so sure, it's great amount of algae. In winter the marina turns white after a good snowfall - fingers crossed.
It looks like we were on a raft going down the algae creek. Really, we were just trying not to fall in.

My tank was doing so good..... then the brush algae came. I had to trim the plants all the time just to keep the algae down. It's so gross looking. It looks like pubes. Anyone know a cure for it for sure?
Unidentified species of algae. Possibly Endocladia spp. (nail brush seaweed or sea moss).

Green algae is Hydrodictyon, the water net. It is a related to Pediastrum, but it forms a bag-shaped colony. Like Pediastrum each individual cell can develop into a new colony. You can imagine that since the colony contains thousands of cells Hydrodictyon can reproduce very rapidly. And unlike Pediastrum, Hydrodictyon can grow large, almost 30 cm. in length. Blooms of Hydrodictyon can be a real problem for water treatment plants.
A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames
