magenta Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 OK, so I have finally gotten algae under control in my AR120 - Its a planted tank, with a DIY CO2 setup and diffuser - it had been growing algae like mad on the glass, but I have finally got enough plant growth to out-compete it My problem is that I am left with red/brown algae over a lot of the plant leaves - new leaves are lovely and green. Is there any way to get rid of it off the leaves? I have an SAE in there, and he occassionally seems interested, but doesnt really make a dent in it. Any ideas?

alanmin4304 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have put 4 sae into a 300l heavily planted tank and they have cleaned it up in a week. I had not kept them before but understand they lose interest as they get older. Mine are up to 50mm and work flat out day and night. I have pilot lights at night.
