Extricating Java Moss from Algae
My small 10 gallon tank is overgrown with Algae. The only plant in there
right now is a Java Rock (Lava rock with Java Moss). It seems to be some form of String Algae, but it's not like any type I've seen before. It seems much finer than the pond variety. After my Betta died, I stocked the tank with Cherry Barbs, as I'd read that they might eat SA. But even if they did like the stuff, I think they're outnumbered. Can I dip the Java Rock in something like Potassium Permanganate to lessen the Algae or is Java Moss too delicate for this? I'd also prefer not to have a permanently purple Lava Rock. TIA Info: 26 watts CF lighting (More plants pending) 5 Cherry Barbs Medium gravel 1 Java Rock No fertilizer added No CO2 |
