 Re: Hair Algae
For cleaning the glass, a Mag Float works good.
As far as the hair algae goes, the main causes of hair algae are old light bulbs or poor water quallity. Have you tested your water for nitrates and phosphates recently? Do you use tap water or RO/DI water? How much/often do you feed? Knowing the source of the problem is a better way to figure out what the best method to get rid of the hair algae is. Possible ways to help get rid of hair algae include minimizing feedings, using RO/DI water, having a good skimmer and not using canister filters, having a good cleanup crew and/or fish that eat algae, and hand picking it. Most fish/critters that eat hair algae only eat short algae and not the longer strands. Before I'll recommend any specific fish, you need to provide what size of tank you have and what fish you currently have in it. |
