Leaving my algae in the dark
(Connor Maltsberger) wrote in message m...
I had an algae problem before that i dealt with by pulling up all my
plants, trashing the ones that didnt look like they were in decent
shape, rinsing and cleaning the other plants ina mild bleach
solution, and taking out my decorative rocks and cleaning them in the
solution too. After rinsing everything, doing a big water changes,
and sucking all the crap out of the substrate that i could find, I put
everything back in, and made sure my plants were outgrowing the algae
after that. Seemed to work fine for me, so it might be a little
easier than blanketing the whole tank!?!?
just a suggestion
Connor
I don't use the bleach part but if the above routine + water change
etc does not work, then you try blackouts.
Blackouts work best on BGA, GW and a few other green algae.
