Best Online Resource for Algae ID and Remedies?

[dapellegrini]

Well, I am wondering where others go online for good pics of Algae to help ID along with information on dealing with the said algae, once ID'd.

I like the pics here: PG: Algae - An Overview - PlantGeek.net

But the descriptions are not helpful, in terms of how it is induced, and what to do to remove it... Looking for something a bit better.

I am particularly interested in reading up on the different kinds of thread and hair algae (with photos)...

Anyone?

Aquarium Algae is the one I like the best.

That is the best site I have seen so far for pics and discriptions.

Thanks

Sweet. That is much better than the one I have been using. Thank you!

In most cases, if you get a good pic most are able to ID and help.
Obviously on line with FW aquarium algae and marine algae, I seem to have more skills at identication, likely having done a lot more taxonomy for my research than about anyone in this hobby.

As well as cures

I'll be doing some very in depth algae articles coming up this spring.
Red, brown/diatoms, green, and Cyanobacteria.
One for each month.

So probably more than anyone's ever written for the hobby on each group and I'll have a lot of photo's, but submissions are welcomed, I'll be doing micrographes myself.

Could we start an algae sticky?

www.barrreport.com?

It's just a bit more difficult to find it here. Making searches possible on 3-letter words would be helpful, like BBA, GSA, etc.
