while live plants help immensely with algae, air stones are also a good investment as well. for about 20 bucks you'll never have to worry about algae since algae usually grows where there is no o...
I had alot of algae experiences this summer. Indoors and out. It is good and bad. Algae of course needs alot of light. BUT I only had crazy "green water" algae blooms when cycling a new tank...
One cause of algae growth is over feeding. Algae grows faster than sword plants, so you need to take away its food source. An aquarium that's heavily planted, especially with fast growing plants,...
Algae typically forms because of excess nutrients in an aquarium. The nutrients can come from uneaten food or fish waste. If you do regular water changes of about 20% a week. You should not have much ...
It's algae. That can happen when the aquarium gets too much light or when you feed too much. In addition, live plants help control algae by using the nutrients which the algae feed on.
That's pretty unusual. Could it be algae? Are the plastic plants intended for aquarium use? I've seen algae growing on large snails, maybe even hair algae, but these guys seem to have picked...
I had an algae problem similiar to what you described. I added two 20 cent goldfish and the algae was gone the next day and never returned. There seems to be mixed opinions about whether or not goldf...

I had the same problem and I came up with two solutions...
One is to use Algae tabs: break a small piece off the tab and get it as close to them as you can. The only problem with this is that they ca...
It could be some type of algae. Is the aquarium in direct sunlight? Over feeding will also cause algae growth.
Thanks. It sounds interesting. Of course, when algae dies it produces toxins, so the filtering system would need to consider the algae life cycle.
...h but can get pretty complicated and could adversely affect water parameters. Finally, don't get Chinese Algae Eaters. They're not from China, do not eat algae, and like to strip the slime coat off sl...

Periodic water changes also help with this.
