■Cyanobacteria.. I would recommend a black out treatment.

♤The treatment involves the aquarium being shaded off against all light sources for several days. Aquarium lights should be switched off, and measures to prevent sidelight from entering the tank should be in place. Dark cardboard or pieces of cloth are a good means of shutting out all light.
It could potentially take over your tank, and it stinks like an old dirty water or a pungent swamp smell. I had it in my 65 gallon it took like 2 weeks for it to die off, then my Malaysian trumpet snails infested soil can eat all the dead cyanobacteria..

It is a problem. blue green algae, or cyano bacteria. Hard to get rid off.
It’s the only instance where I actually tried chemical stuff, but in the end I just reset the tank.
