How do you stop Algae?
I keep getting the so call Algae Eaters and I guess they eat them
selves to death. I've moved the tank away from sun and a light
source and still get it.
Any solutions?
don't feed so much... the more nutrients you have, the more the algea will grow... i've gone to feeding my tanks only once or twice a week and no longer have algae growth problems... there was a time, though, when i had hair algae that was 3 to 4 inches long and lost numerous fish when they'd get tangled in it...
when you say that you are getting "algae eaters", what, exactly, are you getting? plecostomas shouldn't have a problem cleaning algae but you might need
a large tank in a year or so for them :) my last pleco was 19 inches long, now
to tail and about 2.5 inches across the head at its eyes ;)
