The Smarter Way to Treat Algae
Especially effective algae control for BBA, hair/fiber/moss and most forms of filamentous algae. The "Spot Dosing" method is an effective approach to removing algae from hard surfaces: wood and stone. Avoid this method for plants.
- Stop the filter
- Use "Spot Dosing" up to 1 ml per 10 l.
- If you have many problem areas, you can increase the limit from 1 ml per 10 l.
- Dose the spot coating on the areas and change 50% of the water after spot dosing.
How to maintain balance?
The best natural defense against algae is a healthy dominant plant mass. 70% of the aquarium substrate should be wooded. Aquariums with large open, un-planted areas are much more susceptible to algae, in the same way that fertile open fields favor the growth of weeds.
- Organic waste and decaying matter are the biggest culprits of algae.
- Change the water regularly and remove old/decaying leaves.
- Stem plants require repotting of healthy tops after one or two prunings.
- Old, decaying stems encourage algae growth.
