I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with the fluorescent green slime algae that is plaguing my T. cristatus tank (the aquatic portion). I've dealt with this algae (actually a cyanobacteria) before in my tropical fish aquariums and short of tearing down the tank are there any suggestions? I make regular water changes and my water is not high in phosphates or nitrates, which I know may contribute to this type of "algae." In my fish tanks, a rigorous regimen of water changes coupled with treatment using erythromycin (at half the recommended dosage) has dealt with the problem in the past, but I am reluctant to use the erythromycin with the newts. Help!
Thanks,
Duncan
