This is the best tropica video i have ever seen. Great job
Thanks Kasper!
I really like how articulate this video was, focusing on strategies and remedies, rather than styling which so many videos talk about. Given the subjectivity apparent in aquarium video comments, styling tips are a lost cause. But these strategies to combat algae and balance the tank, this is good stuff!
Please keep up this (informative) style of video, the internet needs it.
Wonderful vid. To the point and lovely visual with smooth commentary.
Looking forward to more similar posts.
Well done, Alex! You have given really practical tips in the video! Keep it up! I can't wait to see more videos! 😄
This is a really good video not just about hair algae but good and easy tips on helping to maintain your aquascape!
Always good to see female keeping the fishes and aqua plants hobby
Is it really so unusual to see a female keeping an aquarium? All the people I know who keep fish are female.
👀
Love the milk jug for the water change. Definitely Canadian. LOL
Hi Sue. Indeed we all need our distinct marks, George Farmer has his red colander and Alex will forever be remembered for her milk jug.
@@TropicaAquariumPlants Hi, I use a boiling kettle for water changes, can I be hired by Tropica? :-D (now that I'm here, really good video!)
Great work Alex 👏 and absolutely loving the style of video with fresh clean graphics 💚 great work to all🙌🌱👌
beautiful tank, thank you for the video. me personally, I would keep some small fish (e. g. tetras) in it to add some motion and colours. for me, fish are still the main point in the hobby - maybe this view is a litte old school ...
Good basic information that many times it is overlooked. Especially the advice to tackle algae. Often, we remove the algae but don’t pay attention to what is the cause of it. Great information, keep up the good work.
We want more Alex Vella!!
Really nice video, and no gymmics, to the point.. these are needed.
Alex this video turned out amazing! I can't wait to see what you produce in the future.
Great video! Good job Alex and congrats on the success! It’s a beautiful scape! I like the before trimming only cause I can see the Ludwigia palustris! I’m sure it will look great when it grows back in!
Thanks for the video. I got hair algae all over my mosses and decreased the liquid fertilizer to once a week and also used an electric vaccuum with a smaller head and it pulled the algae right off. The moss now looks much better and will continue this each week. Also, I have been dividing my light time to five hours in the morning with a two hour break and five hours in the afternoon, ramping up to 100% in the morning and ramping down to 75% in the afternoon. But my high light plants are all over the tank mixed with the low light plants so I might have to have two lights. My Ludwigia is a slow grower but I will soon have to start trimming it back. I am almost at three months since setup so I have to be patient and realize things take time.
I prefer After ❤❤
Great video thoroughly enjoyed watching this
Great video
Keep up the content and more video please👍🏼🐟
Where’s George?
R u talking 2 me?????
Watching Netflix
I also have some hair algae mostly on the slow growing plants (mosses, ferns and anubias) i will try this method. Thank you
I think it's beautiful, great job ! Thank you for all the information. It's helped me tremendously . I also feel that a few small fish will be nice.
Great video Alex!
Great style of video!
Great Job Alex!!
Nicely done vid 🌿
Great Work.
Beautiful Scape.👍👍👍
Thank you Michael. Alex is indeed very talented.
So I'm going through a battle with hair algae on a 150L planted tank with almost 4 weeks now. My NO3 and PO4 are very low, I have pressurized CO2 and strong lighting. Do you think I should use fertilizers macros and Micros while I'm having all this hair algae? I use tropica soil powder and I have available tropica specialized and premium nutrition.
Thank you in advance
After... would love to see a bigger dip to the left or right side to give more focalization.
Really nice video!
Pouring the water hardcore style 😅 protip needed
Or add plenty floaters if you have plants which doesn't require much light to survive. This process worked for me miraculously
1st thing, if there is no flow agitation of water inside tank, then there is a possibility of algae, 2nd. co2 is less, 3rd, if you trim and replant, then the dirt form from substrate sets on the leaves, 4. adding access amount of iron with out CO2. 5th, bright light with out CO2.
wish i could order direct from tropica in canada
Very informative video 👏
The stem plants appear to be attached to rocks? I thought they needed substrate because they are mostly root feeders.
That giant 5 gallon jug for a refill is Impressive!
Nice coolest vid there, anyone successfully remove hair algae?
Nice tank I’ve got a 60p as well and I have 0 algae in my tank I do 2 to 3 water changes a week I only clean the glass for green spot algae and do a bit of siphoning the substrate and then take out 60 or 70 percent water change 🌱
How much hours of photoperiod ?
@@onterom 8 hours
i have hair alage on a stem plant on the leaves do i need to cut the stam back a lot or can i use the hair alge remover from a pet shop
Nice Content
Your voice 😍 I could hear all day.
Super!!! 👨🌾🐟🌾🐠🌱
More Alex less George!! Lol... 😄😄😄
I agree 100%!
What? As long as que information is good it shouldn't matter?
Haha
Agree with you :)))))
Algae with you🤣
Nice video 👌👌
Hello - I really have a lot of green algae, hair algae in my saltwater tank on live rock that has totally taken over. I don't know how to take care of that. I could send pics also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have pinnatifida but its melting. what could be the cause. i have co2 injection and good lighting. it was growing good before but now its slowly melting.
Interesting, perhaps shorten the photo period and keep the intensity (changing one parameter at a time) and then if you still get hair algae consider less lighting. Core issue seems to be low and high light intensity i.e. plants receiving the same light regime with different demands, perhaps allow stem plants to largely cover the surface before less severe trimming, or introduce floating plants? Still, nice tank.
Thank'u.... 🙏
Is it possible to use H2O2 on Moss? If yes, what quantity?
how to treat the black algae,thx..
I am currently fighting hair algae and also doing regular weekly 50 % water changes. Tank is a 100 litre with lot of hard scape , rocks, wood and quite heavily planted with CO2 injection. I am dosing Tropica Premium daily. Would 2 weekly water changes help in order to fight hair algae? I know there are a lot of factors to consider. Thank you
Nothing wrong with doing more frequent water changes. Maybe a 30% midweek and a 50% end of week. The biggest thing is consistency, so give it a go!
Hi Robert. Planted Element pretty much answered the question. Good luck and thank you for your support!
Is your freshly added water low in macro nutrients? What are your macro nutrient readings in the tank before and after adding nutrients to the water column? What is the intensity and duration of lighting? Do you exploit floating plants? All to play around with to adjust and solve this issue. Good luck.
nice voice
The best results I got was to turn the blue LED's in my light way down. For those that have the ability to do so.
first attempt? :O
Hey Eddie. Yes, it's Alex's first video for our channel, it turned out great hasn't it?
i love you
What about Siamese Algae Eater?
These grow too large for a 60cm aquarium
Since your plants are from Tropica, your algae would come from your water source, assuming it is not filtere,d ideally, 1-micron...I have tanks with no algae even no water changes for months with high-energy. Try to filter your water and observe...
also, Moss is best carrier of algae spore, much better from trusted source like Tropica or Moss dedicated farm with lots of shrimp on it...
Hair algea more often then not spells Co2 issue in some way.
First attempt apart from the other multiple tanks youve scaped lol
Hi. It is Alex's first video on our channel and her first high tech tank.
Definitely liked the video and subscribed but consider changing that awful "howdy-doody" theme music at the beginning.
Hair algae
Please translate to Arabic
Use RODI water and keep PO4 and NO3 low you won't get algae. Well, that's what I do in my reef tank. 😁
Having both low is not recommended as they are essential for Ludwigia Palustris and Pinnatifida, mostly for the red coloration.
She is beautiful 😁tank is Just fine
Lol
Great video! Good job Alex and congrats on the success! It’s a beautiful scape! I like the before trimming only cause I can see the Ludwigia palustris! I’m sure it will look great when it grows back in!
before. the various colours give it moe depth and texture.
