Hello again Well I just can't stay away, and nor can my algae!! let's see this bright green slimmy algae only grows on the sides of my tank. Now I've had cyanobacteria and I know what it does(smothers plants and lays down sheets on the gravel) this algae doesn't do any of the above. I clean...

I'm talking about brush algae. and I'm not sure but I think the cause is to much light and not enought co2.

well bud, This is what I would do, take all the fish out of the bad tank put the in a small container with room for 1/2 again more water. Then mover the container containing the fish and water over to your other tank, add a little water @ a time and get them into that tank. Don't, I mean do...

Hi, OK, I'm cleaning my whole tank, top to bottom with bleach and water to kill all of my red algae infestation. I'm getting rid of all plants with it on it, and I want to know if I have to clean my filter out to? I mean bleach it and kill every thing, including good bacteria? thanks

As far as I know, and read the actinic blue does nothing for plant growth or algae growth. The only reason I use them is for color, I've always used them and never had a problem tell four months ago? I don't now, I think I'm going to try to salvage some plants and start over again. Is there...

I don't really understand how that could be? I've never herd anything like that before, can you explain? thanks

well, I have three 96w 5000K bulbs and two 65w 50/50 as for co2, two bubbles per sec

I use Seachem flourish and flourish iron flourish 5ml once a week iron 5ml once every two weeks but I stoped fertilizing three weeks ago when I saw algae starting again

that's ez more direct light, if this plant is getting the bulk of its light from one 18w bulb I surprised it even grows new leave when you cut off old one's. Ya, more light all around just get a cheap hood with 40 - 80w (E-bay) good luck
