Asmodeus Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Possibly. I know Flourish Excel is used to treat blackbeard though. I'd try manually removing as much as you can and trimming the worst affected areas of the plants and then using Flourish Excel (must be the Excel one). Not many fish eat blackbeard but there are one or two IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I don't think the API will help. Flourish excel works but can be an expensive affair (you overdose with co2, ask e.g. hollywoods for help on this) You can also get yourself a Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) or two.. they are quite good at keep bba down.

hovmoller Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 You can also submerge hardscape and hardy plants in a 1:20 bleach solution 30 sec to a minute. That will kill bba. But DON'T do this if you have any fish that might feed on the dying bba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
