algae affected by temp?
Troy Bruder wrote:
Funny you asked that. I recently lowered my tank temp from 74ish to 72ish and my algae has significantly been reduce/slowed.. Maybe just coincidence...but I like the way it's working out! Troy "Brian" wrote in message ... All else being equal, will warmer water produce more algae? Blue-green algae in particular? Just curious, as I have more algae than usual, with no other parameter changes I know of besides temp. B -- Brian Heller It is easier to tame wild beasts than to conquer the human mind. Blue green algae isn't, it is a bacteria. It can live anywhere, at any temperature and is even found at high altitudes in the atmosphere. If you want to read more about it have a look here. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/cyanointro.html http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/cyanolh.html I found out a lot about it when our local trout fishery was closed down because of it, my daughter, who is a microbiologist, looked up some of it for me and I found the rest. Google search on Cyanobacteria for plenty more info. -- Don`t Worry, Be Happy Sandy -- E-Mail:- Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk IRC:- Sandyb in #rabble uk3.arcnet.vapor.com Port:6667 #Rabble Channel Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk/rabbled ICQ : 41266150 |
