| .........?!?..........I guess under the right (or wrong) conditions there's scum/mold on everything. Undesireable algaes in a salt water aquarium are usually due to excesses in the water column of one sort or another. Bluegreen algaes (cyanobacteria) are usually due to phosphates and/or nitrate levels where as diatoms are usually due to high levels of silicates. Not really sure if that answer's your question.

Ummm...if this is a "critical thinking" class, shouldn't you be...I don't know...thinking critically about it instead of asking us?  I don't mean that to be rude. It's just that my husband is a high school teacher so I think this way...I have seen a lot of students trying to weasel out of assignments.

Heeeeey.......I resemble that remark!!!!!!!!! Lets here it for the weasels, we-zel we-zel we-zel.  Besides critical thinking wastes time you could be spending working on/enjoying your aquarium.
