Re: [GSAS-Member] Algae control



The best solution takes a little effort, and that is to adjust the nutrients in the tank. Usually when you add more plants to an established tank, you toss off the balance. Most likely it will be nitrogen efficiency, but it would be better to take a strategic approach to figuring out what is lacking. Returning it to balance will eliminate the algae, and make you plants grow like gang-busters.

Since the plant auction, I've had all different types of algae plaguing my 
tank. What kinds of fish besides SAE will help control it? Where can I get 
these fish locally? Does anyone have any SAE or other algae-eating fish they 
don't want anymore? I have discus in the tank. I may just take it down and 
bleach the plants and/or strip the leaves off.
