Hello all,
This topic has come up before, but without a sure fire resolution. Short of taking down a tank, cleaning it with bleach, and starting over, what is the best way to keep hair algae under control? Some forum members recommend C02 infusion, while others recommend adding rosy barbs, Siamese algae eaters, or bushy-nosed plecos. I've heard that Jordinella floridae eats hair algae, but mine is a Hemichromis tank, so sweet little killie fish won't cut it. I've added three rosy barbs that totally ignore the nasty stuff. Any suggestion's, please?
Thanks!
Randall Kohn
