I find that hydrogen peroxide can be useful -- just take driftwood out of the tank, pour the hydrogen peroxide over it, let it sit for a little while, rinse off lightly, put back in tank. Usually the algae will start to die off and be gone in a few days. -----Original Message----- From: Belle Rahn <eyesotaupe@hotmail.com> To: aga-member@thekrib.com Sent: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 16:31:47 +0000 Subject: [AGA-Member] Removal of Tuft Algae I have a piece of drift wood with tuft algae growing on it. The algae is dark brown, almost black in color, grows in a clump and is about 1/2 tall. I have removed the drift wood and would like to treat it to kill the algae and return the driftwood to the aquarium. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ AGA-Member mailing list AGA-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-member _______________________________________________ AGA-Member mailing list AGA-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-member
