Re: [GSAS-Member] Remove Hair Algae from Wood

Sorry to be so slow responding to this thread.  I use an algae control
method recommended by a NANFA member.  She is a native aquatic plants expert
(PhD). She recommends a treatment of 1oz per 10 gallons hydrogen peroxide
every two weeks.  This is the stuff you get off the shelf at Safeway.  Do a
20% (or more) water change before each re-treatment.  

I have used this method on several tanks without non-algal or animal loss.
It will actually remove the algae from the leaves of plants.  I plan to try
this treatment on a pond within 2 weeks.  I will let you know the results as
soon as I know.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Remove Hair Algae from Wood

Hello There,

 

Is there any secret strategy for removing thick hair algae from wood pieces?
So far I have just used rubbing and a toothbrush but that is really slow
going.

 

Thanks

Shango
