algae still - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

My green Fuzz and hair algae reduced drastically when I got the phosphate under control ( I was over dosing it and already had enough in my water)

It's well worth the test!

If you're going to buy a phosphate kit, then the Seachem one is highly recommended. It's slightly more expensive than other hobby grade kits, but rivals the professional grade kits for accuracy and is easy to use.

I place my order

Flourish Excel 250 ml $3.69

Flourish Potassium 250 ml $3.99 x 1

Flourish Trace 250 ml $3.99 x 1

Equilibrium 600 grams $8.99 x 1

Substitute Flourish "Comprehensive" for the Flourish Trace. Flourish Trace while called a trace fertilizer, actually isn't very good in that role.

I have some comprehensive already but have not used it in a long time... thanks again!
