Hi, I was wondering if these algae treatment products work?. Do they have have any negative affects on stock in the aquarium?.
I ask because since moving house a few weeks ago, I have started to get a bad case of "green water", it really doesn't look very appealing. I have been doing water changes every 2-3 days of around 40-50% but it seems to develop quicker than I can treat it.
The aquarium was established for over three months before moving house, and was crystal clear. It currently is no where near any windows, and I have been cutting the light off for the best part of the day, and only a few hours of an evening.
The current water parameters are as follows;
AM: 0.0ppm
nI: 0.0ppm
nA: 5ppm
pH: 7.2
My next resort was to try a product like this. Has anybody had any success with products like that before?.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give.
Michael.
