Re: [APD] BGA, antibiotics, and cloudy water

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

So called Blue-Green Algae, named for the color and
similarities to some algae, they are cyanobacteria that
show up in aquaria presenting an unattractive odor, slimly
texture, a tendency to cover objects (including algae) like
a film that can sometimes be lifted off like a wet decal,
and the ability to increase in mass rather rapidly if
conditions are good for BGA and, and Tom always points out,
not so hot for plants.

That's not a definitive description, but if you have those
signs, you probably have BGA.
