Admin koko Posted November 17, 2003 Admin Share Posted November 17, 2003 UV with help with Green algae not the brown stuff. You can use the canister or the Powerheads to run it. I use it for my planted tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kip Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Does your tank get a lot of sunlight? I've had a lot of problems, but alge wasn't one of them. I clean it (glass) once a week, and I have a bedroom tank with just a little to none sunlight. I run my light on the tank about 7 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted November 17, 2003 Admin Share Posted November 17, 2003 Rubber noses will take care of that, or bristles. Or you can try plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
