Didn't do anything for me. It's been a while since I tried it but, as I
recollect, the label disclaims something to the effect that it is not
effective on all types of algae - apparently that would include any of the
five or six varieties which were growing in my tanks at the time.

This product claims to cut algae in a planted tank. Does it
work?


Adding PO4 can cut algae in many planted tanks.
Adding NO3 or K can reduce algae in planted tanks.
Adding CO2 properly will reduce algae in planted tanks,
Using a good substrate with iron will reduce algae in planted tanks.
Adding enough trace elements for the plants will reduce algae in a
planted tank.
Pruning regularly and hving enough plants from the very start will
reduce algae in a planted tank.
Adding herbivores will reduce algae in a planted tank.

A smart sapling would work on these methods of reducing algae. Because
these do work on all types of algae, and they focus on growing healthy
plants.

Algae reducers, snake oils, miracle cures, etc do not grow plants
which is why you have the algae in the first place.

Folks miss that point far too often.
