    ALGAE It’s an everlasting question how to get rid of them. Since every aquarium is different there is no exact answer. It can have thousand causes but it’s sure it indicates a problem in your tank. In the beginning I was messing a lot with the algae and to be honest with you it can still be a problem.
    I neglected this tank recently I wasn’t looking after it. I was suffering from algae for a longer while and even this video haven’t been about to be made, because I wanted to take it apart. But eventually I figured out how to give you some useful tips based o what happened.
    I’m hundred percent sure this video won’t solve all of your problems with algae but I hope you will find some useful tips and gather some motivation for the fight.
    Don’t need to be afraid of algae and you shouldn’t be pissed too. Just assume it as a challenge. So good luck guys, algae can not win!
    H2O2 video and info: • My life is a BATTLEFIE...
    Be gentle with this chemical and make sure no children can reach it. You mustn’t overdose, it’s very important! Use 3% tincture with a dosage of 1 ml H2O2 to 1L net. aquarium water. You can use it directly or just simply pour it into the tank. It’s up to you.
    Normally it doesn’t hurt the flora and fauna but a couple (more sensitive) shrimps can fall.
    It can hurt the bacteria partially, but it won’t cause any trouble! After half day of this treatment, you should change at least the half of the aquarium water. If you had more algaes the water can be troubled what also means you should do a water change.
    If you have mosses, you want to remove them before using the H2O2, because they can be burnt easily.

    @richardportelli1983 5 лет назад +35

    I think many high tech led lights that sit close to the aquarium and are high powered are almost always way too intense at 100%. You should always start off at around 50% intensity and gradually increase that number until you start seeing algae. At that point you want to wind it back one notch.

    • @TheCineScaper
      @TheCineScaper  5 лет назад +5

      I tried out 50% light intense, but didn't help me, as I wrote it in the video. I never use this lamp at 100% on this tank.

    • @sperilaalecsandru65
      @sperilaalecsandru65 4 года назад

      You can find calculators online for the amount of light needed. You can also use a app to see the amount of light you have in the tank

    • @KlimovArtem1
      @KlimovArtem1 4 года назад +1

      It’s better to get some cheap PAR meter or rent a decent one and do some measurements, before deciding if you have too much or too little light. But, yes, the safer approach is to start dimmer and then slowly increase day by day, observing the changes. I would not reduce the photo period though. All tropical plants and corals adapted to have ~11 hours of light per day. They can’t utilize products of photosynthesis fast enough if you give them very bright light for a short period. Better to distribute that energy more uniform in time for a longer period.

    It's so interesting seeing this perspective for me. How an aquascaper has a very contrasting idea of algae with me, a microbiology undergrad student cultivating marine algae for my thesis. One of my friend even did use peroxide (H2O2) too, but on purpose to stress out the algae just enough to not die, but still be able to produce higher metabolic products.

    This video is GREAT ! Through the years of focusing on planted aquariums, i've had almost every algae one can get.....and even some unknows. With all the ups and downs i've come to the conclusion.... if you have a good bacterial set-up, chances are you'll have some kind of Algae. i don't use Co2, and i've stopped using the Excel-dee-hyde stuff, (not enough info on saftey.) One thing i've noticed is that once the plants have acclimated and are happily growing, the battle to eradicate any infestation is a whole lot easier. My main weapon has been H2O2 or for removable plants or cuttings, a mild chlorinated bath,(for the difficult agae.)
    Has anyone tried a tank made entirely of those lab grown sterile plants ? ...Thank's for posting this !

    EPIC! This is fantastic! I love the story you tell and the drama you create with this video. And, I’m really pleased your hard work paid off in the end! Just one question though-if you keep you filter running during this whole process, does such high doses of H2O2 not effect the bacteria in it? Did you leave if off at any point?
    Cheers, mate! 👍🏼💚

    • @TheCineScaper
      @TheCineScaper  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks! It effects the bacteria of course, but not as much as people think. It is because the bacteria in the filter forms a media called biofilm, that makes bacteria more hardy then if they was separately. If you switch off your filter, -in my opinion- is a bigger risk, because lack of oxigen kill many bacteria for sure. I dont know which thing kills more ( H2O2 vs. lack of oxigen), but in my experience with H2O2, maximum side effect was a little opalescent for couple days, and some sensivite plants was hurted a bit, nothing else. Shrimps, and some fish species can be sensivite too.

    for me I was really suffering with green ALGAE and BB as well,
    I started using Seachem flourish Excel daily and that helped me to get ride of the BB but not the green algae,
    anyway I started bulding a new Aquarium and I needed the CO2 System and the light there
    I removed it from the old aquarium for two days
    no lights no CO2
    after two days I got new lights so I took the CO2 and lights back to old aquarium which has algae
    I was shocked when I turned on the lights
    no algae at all and the water become clear crystal!!
    I hope this can help anyone facing the same issue
