Posted by §tudz on November 4, 2005, 8:24 am Please log in for more thread options Hi, What is the best was to get rid of hair algae? I have read that it only thrives when nitrate is over 10ppm, I have had a recent explosion in my nitrate, I am treating it with water changes and also AmQuel+ Plus I have also read algone is good to use as well, but I have 4 oto's in my tank and I don't want to kill of all the algae as they will starve. Manually removing hair algae doesn't work as it just grows back, any ideas, am I doing the right things to help this situation? Thanks §tudz Similar Threads Posted black algae March 18, 2005, 3:29 pm Wardley Algae Discs March 12, 2005, 8:21 am Re: Algae problem - help sought please.
