About
Algae Scanner helps aquarium owners identify common algae from a photo, understand likely causes, and choose the next practical step without guessing.
Take one clear photo of the growth in your tank. Get a likely match, confidence and severity, the conditions that may be feeding it, and clear actions to try first.
PHOTO-BASED ALGAE IDENTIFICATION
Use your camera or photo library to scan algae directly in your aquarium. The app compares visible patterns and returns a likely match along with practical guidance for your tank.
FOR FRESHWATER, PLANTED, AND REEF TANKS
Whether you keep a freshwater planted tank or a saltwater reef aquarium, Algae Scanner helps you investigate outbreaks with aquarium-specific context.
COMMON ALGAE PROBLEMS
Identify likely green hair algae, black beard algae, brown diatoms, cyanobacteria, green spot algae, green water, fuzz algae, or other common growths.
WHAT YOU GET
- A likely algae match from your photo
- Confidence and severity to help prioritize
- Likely causes, such as light, nutrients, flow, CO2, organics, or unstable maintenance
- Practical next steps to try before making random changes
- Scan history to revisit past results
Algae Scanner is built to help you move from "What is this?" to a clearer next move for your aquarium.
IMPORTANT
Photo-based results are suggestions, not guarantees. Accuracy can vary with photo quality, lighting, water clarity, and mixed growth. Use the result as a starting point alongside your own tank observations.
