Robdog: i did that, it was a easy fix.


I had my tank wrapped up since friday.
and today i unwrapped it, no traces of Algea.

I'll try and keep it like this. buy new bulbs, and a second c02...

thank you all for these tips.
I wrapped my tank in 2 days ago.
I'll remove it tomorrow and have a peek.
if this did not help a bit, then i'll start by getting new bulbs, and then continue on the...

Hi, thank you all for these answers.
I'll answer you all as best as i can.

zar: I'll set up my timer to do so, and i'll see if it helps.

Illusn: I have one of these "natural" co2 canisters,...

Hi,

i do really have a algea problem, had it for a long time now.
started when i moved my tank to my new appartment.
And i cannot seem to get rid of it.

Getting worse now.
Tried several...

thanx aquamx.

The hair algea is Black.

the algea remover i've used is Tetra aqua Algumin.

"hair alage = high phosphate

use phosphate reducer or do more w/c"

i'll go for this one first.that's the easiest thing to start with.


yes, i have a "diy" co2 thing.

i'll think about...

ppm?

i have a c02 system..

i've tried for weeks to get rid of it,
less food
less light
got some tablets to put in water, does not help.

tried with this liquid-removal stuff aswell..

what can i do to get rid of it? it...

aha, that's a good tip . thank you, i'll let them have a go now, and i'll see what i can do next time if they fail this time also.

okay, that seems too much of a struggle for me to do right now then, i'll just wait then, and hope they get older then today ;)

can i cage wrigglers?

it's the first time in weeks, so i'd really like this to work.
earlier they have eaten eggs\wrigglers..

i bought some food for them "nobil fluid" can i cage them and feed...

i also hate algea, and waterchanges, wish i could just hook it up to the sink, and just turn on water, and it fills the tank, and removes the same ammount, so that it would be faster and easier..
...

thanks for the answer, i will follow that, and see how it goes.

I have set the light to go on at 09 in the morning and off at 10 at night.
i will cut back a little on that too, to see what helps..

my jaw just dropped.., STUNNING images!

and that tank looks awesome, is it possible to get a shot of that too?

My aquarium is 125L, i have 2 discus, 1 black ghost, and some tetras.

how often would i change 30% of the water?
i've now done it 1x week, but i'm having trouble with my plants, they just go...

The 3 first times i got wrigglers and freeswimmers, but not anymore, but as you say : Patience :)

The eggs are all gone..
they have been doing that the last 6 times they've laid eggs now.. :(

i must say, the two last pics made my jaw drop.
for me that is the dream aquarium..

may i ask how many litres it is?
how big in M..
and what fish is in it at that picture.

i specially like...

They lay eggs 1x a week or more :)

hope they get it straight soon.

i'm not an expert, but i dont think there's much you can do, other then to check that everything else is fine (water etc).

i just moved 2 discus from my maintank and over to a tank with a breeding...

well, i've put it into the tank some days ago.
and all is well with the fish.
"Tetra Aqua Algumin"

hope it will get rid of it ;)

so, make the light-time lower, and how to get rid of phosphate?

the light could be the fact that my gf never ever closes the curtains, the aquarium is not in direct sunlight, but it's been sunny...

but why does this get in my tank?
is there something i should be more aware about?
