Algae Scanner for Aquariums

Snap a photo. Identify aquarium algae, uncover likely causes, and get clear steps to restore a healthier tank.

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.
