2 pointsLow water flow or in other words, low oxygen levels in the water. Does your tank have any filter outlet breaking water surface tension?2 points

2 pointsOk problem solved:) I went to michaels craft store bought a plastic mesh for 2.50 and glue gun it to back after I empty tank and pulled out 15+ shrimp from the filter department. Hopefully that solves the problem I turn filter back on.

I cleared out 50% of floating plants. HAng on back filter moves surface and water below pretty well. I can cut back on light hours. Not much other algae around the tank. Just checked nitrates via sapi tested 0ppm.1 point

1 pointThat should work bar a few newborns that may fit through depending upon the gauge as crabby states. You will need to keep cleaning the area where the slits are as they will get blocked otherwise. That should be easy though, just get a new cheap toothbrush! Simon1 point -
Probably not the BacterAE. Cyanobacteria is usually caused by a combination of low flow, excess light, and some sort of nutrient imbalance. I believe phosphate is quite tied into it (too high or too low can cause a bunch of different algaes), and of course high levels of nitrate (waste) will lead to algae outbreaks. Chances are you'll get some more showing up, so maybe drop light levels and test nitrate?1 point

1 pointIt's hard to get a gauge on the size of the holes in the mesh... there's a chance that newborn shrimplets could get through, from what I can see.1 point

Ok cut that spot out and another chunk that had a couple suspect areas of a greener cast. Eyes peeled for any others showing up. How have I developed Cyanobacteria? Too much BacteAE?1 point

Yep, cyanobacteria like Crabby said. Get rid of it as quickly as possible.1 point

1 pointI feed my shrimplets powdered foods, that I pre-soak in a small cup of water (so the food sinks) and use a pipette/turkey baster and squirt the food into subwassertang or anywhere shrimplets tend to hide in. 2-3 times a week.1 point

That looks like blue-green algae, Cyanobacteria. It does quite quickly all across your aquarium and is extremely hard to get out. I recommend taking that piece of hornwort out (or at least trimming that part off), and maybe looking into how to get rid of it if it does start spreading more.1 point

1 pointTry what Simon said. He’s spot on. You can try getting the shrimp out just with your hands probably, if they fit, not much we can do to help you there unfortunately.1 point
