So anyone new to the aquascape world and even the old are bound to come face to face with some algae issues. It is true that some are quite easy to remove and some are a real pain in the behind. This is my first ever thread that im writing right now and i thought that from my experience i really wanted to share it with you all.
So I am no expert in the aquarium hobby, in fact, I'm still rather new. However, I have been experiencing extremely severe Black Beard Algae in my first tank that i have been trying to get rid of for a while now. Even though you have algae eaters in the tank they refuse to eat the BBA because i read it is rather hard and tough for them to eat. Luckily I set up a new tank and needed to get some high quality Fertilizers and bought myself some liquid carbon to go with my Co2 setup. In case you are wondering I went with the Aquaforest products, and one of their products is AF Carbon Boost, however you can use any other product like Seachem Flourish Excel or others as well.
Honestly, I have been dosing 3ml of the Carbon Boost everyday and the Black Beard Algae stopped spreading and began to turn to mush, where my algae eaters began to eat it finally.
Another thing is the algae that build up in the filter tubes etc has also vanished which is great because it saves cleaning a bit.
So in short many people are posting daily about BBA and other algae issues, and my answer to that is Liquid Carbon most definately gets the job done.
What are your thoughts?
I hope you liked my little post, and do leave a comment.
