Algae in fish tanks

It is important to be aware of algae growths in your freshwater aquarium and control them. Obviously, with the growth of algae in your tank, the water will become less clear and you will begin to see algae on everything in your tank plus on the glass of your aquarium itself - including the equipment in your aquarium. This is not good, as you can imagine - for many reasons; but, the worst part is that your fish will also experience negative effects from the overgrowth of the algae. (Your plants will also suffer negative effects from too much algae.). Some examples of algae that are found in a fish tank are silica algae, blue-green algae (also known as cyanobacteria), green algae, or algae bloom.
