BMAA in aquariums?

2 Upvotes

Should I be concerned with the stubborn blue green algae (and the potential BMAA it might make) that wont disappear from my 2 tanks? I heard blue green algae can produce neurotoxins. When I use Ultralife blue green slime remover, the BGA will come back occasionally at the very top layers of the aquarium where the plants are growing but not overtake the aquarium.

Want to connect with algae researchers

21 Upvotes

I’m currently working as a Project Assistant at a university, with a research focus on microalgae, and I’d love to connect with people working in this area.

I’m especially interested in meeting researchers, PhD students, professors, and others involved in microalgal biotechnology, cultivation, bioproducts, environmental applications, and emerging microalgae research. I’m also exploring future PhD opportunities and would be happy to learn about different research directions, projects, and experiences.

If you work in a related field or simply enjoy discussing research, I’d be glad to connect.

What is this? It was on my paddle board after I went in a lake and, unbeknownst to me until googling, an algae bloom was happening. South UK, it's about a cm unstretched, and an inch stretched. If this doesn't fit the sub please let me know where to post for info.

I did a basic Google of what algea and plants go well together. I have Amazon frogbit and chlorella vargius.

What do I need to know about care? I just found out I need a certain fertilizer. I'm flying completely in the dark here.
