Kajun_Kong Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 so just a few drops?? no idea the dosage needed for a 10 gallon.. ive noticed its just affecting the anubias in my tank nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Really depends on the tank size, I did 4ml in a 10gal right on top of the algae. Kajun_Kong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyzazz Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 You need to give it more time than that. I'd give it a week before you start to see results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been doing water changes as well? How is your A/N/N in the tank? If the Algae is dying off you need to remove the organic matter or it could start to decay and raise the Ammonia or Nitrite if your filter/bacteria can't keep up with it.

I get it tested weekly where I buy my shrimp a fish they say it’s good! I do only like a 10% change every Tuesday!

Kajun_Kong Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 should i do heavier changes until the issue is resolved?.. and besides the plants is the algae even a threat to my shrimp and fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 You can do heavier water changes if you'd like, just ensure you match the temp and water parameters. H2O2 gasses off with time, so your water should be good as far as that is concerned. No, the algae is not a threat to your fish/shrimp.

But it is there because it's trying to correct an imbalance of nutrients and light in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part do nutrients play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Light is only one component, algae needs other nutrients to grow and reproduce just like any other plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely an over-feeder. Would that do it? I'm dealing with that fuzzy black algae that clings to plants in tiny bunches. Am in the midst of my own H2O2 treatment. I've been working on water chem before re-stocking my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, my snail population, along with my algae, was thriving while my poor little neos died young. (Got bad info from my LFS as a newbie.) Trying to do it right this time. Thanks!

As for the nickname, the way my Dad taught it to me, it has nothing to do with intelligence, right? Ha! Is there a tattoo to match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
