Algae that does not die [emoji23]

[Potluck]

Anyone out there know of a type of algae that does not die by excel nor h2o2, I removed all my wood yesterday, removed as much of this tough filament algae as I could by hand and direct dosed the algae with full strength excel let sit 15 min, rinsed and then did h2o2 directly after, as well as letting it sit 15 min, looked today and this crap is just laughing at me [emoji23][emoji23].

Yes everyone has different opinions, it's not slimy like hair algae it's really tough filiments that are hairy to the eye, can't really break it if I pull on both ends that's how tough it is, since people say it's utricularia graminifolia, some say no

Its definitely not UG. UG is a type of blatterwort and is very easy to tear. It also doesn't grow anything like that. My guess is staghorn algae.

Well it's super staghorn then cause h202 nor excel treated at full strength killed it, didn't even budge it. [emoji23][emoji23]

I get that exact same stuff in my local reservoir in the hot summer months. Pisses me off when it gets stuck in my trolling motor.

I just won a battle with hair algae in my 75 gallon planted tank. What I did was dosed it with hydrogen peroxide. (I’m not sure if that’s advisable, just saying what I did) About 1/4 of a cup. It pretty much cleared up after 48 hours. There’s still a tad bit left but not as bad as before I dosed it. (It was entirely covered with hair algae)

I also got rid of if with H2O2 and a 48hr blackout recently

When you use h2o2 do you keep the fish in the tank? I have some sort of green algae in my glo fish tank.

I spot dose it with one of those baby medication tubes with the plunger

I kept mine in. But with the water volume I have, my dosing is pretty small to affect the the fish or the snail.
