I have a planted tank and noticed no adverse affect on the plants with the
lights off for three days.

I had thought about that, but wondered what effect that would have on my
plants. Do you have a planted tank ?

I have eliminate Green water by turning the lights off until the water
cleared, about three days.

Does anyone have experience treating "green water algae" infestations
with
barley straw extract ? What were your conclusions ? Did it work or
not
work ?
Also, does it actually *kill* the algae ? Or does it just clarify the
water
in some other way ? I have a 55gal tank and the bottle I was looking
at
online at www.thatfishplace.com says it treats 2,500gals. So that's
making
me think now that I have the infestation, I'll have to treat it
forever
and
ever.
If barley straw extract ISN'T the best way to deal with green water
algae,
what is ?
Thanks - Shawn
