OK.. I give up.. I've been fighting major algae problems for MONTHS.. I'm about to tear down my tank and get out of the hobby. NOTHING is working for me.... Are they're ANY chemical solutions that are live plant friendly?? Troy Algaefix is supposed to be friendly to most plants and kill most algae. YMMV. Avoid Algae Destroyer and other products containing simazine because simazine is not friendly to bunch plants and grasses like valisneria. http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Algae/simazine.html A UV unit is good for unicellular suspended algae if your water is green. If you want other alternatives from a bunch of other algae experts (I think I've grown and fixed all but staghorn at some time or another), you could post more about your tank and what you've tried. i.e. Tank size, lighting, plants, kinds of algae, fish population, filtration, nitrate and phosphate levels, water change schedule... Most algae problems can be fixed without chemicals. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com
