Hello all,
I have been in a losing battle with blue green algae for a few months. It resides on my plant like glue, my air stone is completely covered in algae, my gravel and everything else thatās in the water. My water has no ammonia, and I do regular water changes. I have scrubbed and scrubbed, I even tried to steam the algae off in boiling water on one of my ornaments. (It didnāt work, clearly) Iām not ready to give up yet, Iām thinking of changing my sponge filter to an aquael turbo that has biological filtration. As well as this I was recommended to let tap water stand for 4 days to rid it of chlorine before a water change rather than using chemicals. Are these tips good? Are there any other tips that are better? Please help me!
