I added DIY CO2 a few days ago and my bluegreen algae has started growing

I went to several of my LFS to purchase SAE. I was sold false SAE's by

First, I doubt CO2 is actually to blame/credit for the increased
growth of the BGA. If the BGA outbreak is severe, I'd suggest
manually removing as much as possible, and blacking out the tank for a

detailed posts on doing a blackout.

Next, SAEs will not help with a BGA problem. BGA is cyanobacteria, a
combination of bacteria and algea. Nothing will eat it.
