Re: [GSAS-Member] Hair Algae (was Excel? Glut?)

Hi Connie:

I had potassium permanganate in my aquarium, which turns the water completely 
violet. I just poured the H202 in to neutralize it, with the fish in it. I 
didn't put a whole lot in, just enough that I thought it did the job of getting 
rid of the other stuff by turning the water clear. Well, it is real sensitive 
stuff even though it looks like water. You can try it, but I would recommend 
reading everything you could find on the internet about it first. I didn't 
think it was that lethal.
