More than 10,000 living diatom species are known, there are over 8,000 species of Algae, there are 1500 species of Blue Green algae or Cyanobacteria, there are 6000 species of red algae or Rhodophyta . . . . the list goes on and on- ok, so identification is not as important as why is it growing, how it impacts my plant and how to get rid of it!!!Environment: Algae can be found in a variety of environments, soil, fresh or saltwater. They come in various sizes and shapes. They can be single celled, have flagella and be motile, they can be branched. They can be red, green, brown or blue-green. They are usually common in a biotowers or a trickling filter. They can be found in many clarifiers, and in many lagoon or pond systems. They are often found in ornamental ponds or fountains. They are usually not dominant in an activated sludge, due to the amount of MLSS present, and sunlight cannot penetrate through the MLSS. They can cause "plugging or ponding". Control: There are various different controls depending upon the type of system, the cause and the location of the algae. See our troubleshooting guide for Algae problems. Problems associated with Algae: Algae can cause numerous problems. Algae can cause TSS problems in a system, can give false BOD readings, can clog pumps, cause short circuiting if build-up is on the weirs of a clarifier, These photomicrographs were taken from many wastewater and pond or lake samples. Most of the objectives used were 100x and 400x. Some photos were taken at 1000x. Come take a closer look at the amazing world under the microscope!
