Default Eradicating BBA

But judging from your other posts in this thread, you're not really
interested in getting specific help. You're just seeking approval for
your bleaching method. I highly doubt that your tank has some algae
species that's non-existent in almost every other algae-free tank.
There is no quick cure for algae, IMO.

I was thinking the same thing, until I did a simple search on 'red algae'
and after several pages of reading, it became clean, Neil Frank determined
that there wasn't a limit, or overabundance of anything, except this red
algae.. It won't starve, because it creates it's own food, you can't kill
it, simply...

I know, I'm back tracking a bit... but only because I did a bit MORE
research and learned that even good ideas are sometimes aimed at the wrong
target... Nutrients won't kill/starve/rid yourself of red, RED algae..

I'm not trying to sway your thoughts, here's what I read. it's all about the
Rhodophyta (red algae)
http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Algae/brush-algae.html
http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Algae/red-algae.html
http://www.netpets.com/fish/referenc...obacteria.html

I have seen that black brush algae, is in fact red algae.... In older stages
of it, it does have a red hue to it, and when old, it becomes grayish, white
and then becomes nearly impossible to pull off plants, and devices...

Hey, aren't we all learning a bit from this?? I know I am.... I learned
that I'm going to buy a couple gallons of bleach this weekend....
