Fuzzy Algee Issue
Can anyone give me any advice on how to rid my freshwater tank of
algee. It's black (or very dark green) Very fuzzy... like hair Grows on plants, rocks, wood You can take a look a a photo of the algee on some of my plants here... http://home.comcast.net/~tfredricks/fish/DCP_1395.jpg I would just empty the tank and bleach everything but I don't have another proper place for the existing fish to live. Any advice? |

Tell us more about your tank
CO2, fertilizer fish load andt etc. Looks like my tank when I forget to watch the DIY CO2. Bob "Todd" wrote in message om... Can anyone give me any advice on how to rid my freshwater tank of algee.

Hi Robert
What do you mean by that? Did you let it go too long without a refresh? "Robert Flory" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the help... looks like the article at "thekrib" has
everything I could ever want to know about this stuff. I think I may try and find some of the Siamese Algae Eater's and give that a shot. I actually already did the bleach idea to all the plants and rock in the tank but without getting all the fish out I could not do many of the inners of the tank so it spread back over everything in a couple months. If I could just come up with a place for the fish for a couple days then I'd be set. what's my setup? 125 gallon tank no special fertilizer, co2, or anything... I take the low maintenence approach to my tank. 4 rather large chiclids and 8 small fish (barbs, etc...) 1 pleco One last comment. Any thoughts on how hard it will be to find the Siamese Algae Eater? I live in a large city so I hope my chances are good. |
