Beautiful Algae?

[JT]

Hi, anyone come across beautiful algaes? If grown in a control form, some can be very nice...Any views?

I have a few green hairy type algae growing on my tank background. It is very nice and natural. Still trying to get a good photo on it(dun seems to get it clear) and post.

Are you talking about a type of Chladophora(sp?) species? They can be quite nice to look at...

I have tried to grow staghorn algae as the only plant in a nano tank but just kept on getting lots of hair algae. My family told me to give it up or they would throw the tank out as it looked bad.

I think algae is under rated, but for certain do not like it in may large display tank.
