natural method of getting rid of it.


Fertilize the tank properly. It'll vanish.

I tried for 7 years to find things that would eat it as fast as it
would grow. There is no fiush that can even remotey keep up any
anybody see this meely has a bordeeline case of it.

I sear it increased in voracity with each flagfish I aded.

Normal (ie, barr) fertilizezaion will get rid of it quickly.
say, a week. Flourish Excel kills it in about 2-3 days.

So does peroxide but at a dose high enough to kill everything
else too. Don't use it.
