SRC Member Venezia Posted March 7, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2013 By scraping, do you remove it by siphoning out of your tank or just clean with magnet cleaner and the scum goes back into your filter and the phosphate/nitrates get recycled for next algae bloom. Do you use R0/DI water? tap water contain alot of nutrients to fuel nuisance algae growth. Do you use a protein skimmer? Does your tank face the sun? How old is your tank system?

SRC Member Venezia Posted March 8, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think its best u post a pix of the algae + list specs of your tank. Other factors like no. of fishes, over-feeding, aging of filter materials may also contribute to algae growth. gouldian: no more. Jus sitting around waiting for $ to drop fr the trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
