Hello from the south west! Plymouth!. I dont think South Africa, would stand a chance in the real game (FOOTBALL)! LOL!.

Thank you for the info, I will put the plants into another tank for 4 days while i turn the lights off. the plants are Amazon sword and Vallis which are quite hardy flora. i have picked off most of the hair algae now looks a lot better!. keep you informed with the results. Ryan

Have you tried Ebay? ...... brought two of my tanks from Ebay! Juwel tanks are great, good looking and sturdy. I would also buy the biggest tank you can afford as the water quality will be more stable!. maybe look at a 125l 0r 180 l tank. What did you want to keep? Happy shopping! Ryan

Always happy to help a fellow student...survey completed.

Two of the tanks effected are planted, there doesnt seem to be much scientific study int o what causes the development of hair algae.....looks like a final year project!.

Thank you guys, just taken a look at the link, tried a siamese algae eater before he/she for controlled the algae awhile then started just eating flake or worm. I might try keeping the tank lights off for 4 days.

Nice vid, i have one in my amazon tank( they breed like rabbits!!!) ryan
