Insect Direct Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Algae need more than just light to survive so by turning off the light you are not addressing the cause/s. When you turn the light back on you will still have the same problem. I have a 5000l swimming pool in direct sunlight and if I don't feed it the algae (that I want) reduces. Forget all those products. The water has little good bacteria init. A good filter is key to keeping things stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Really, honestly, there is no point asking for help if you aren't going to pay an ounce of attention to what anyone is saying, and keep arguing the toss. The internet is a great source of information, how about you have a read of that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 But i have those noodles that bacteria grows on and its covered in bacteria you can't really see bacteria, Fish poo and wee in the water which is like fertiliser to plants/algae and like swimming in a toilet for the fish bacteria consume the excrement and turn it into something slightly less harmful to the fish bacteria in a bottle only kick starts the bacteria, the really good bacteria takes a while to build up to the point where it can eat all the crap and turn it into safe stuff for the fish and less food for the algae cutting the light down will help to reduce algal growth but until the stuff it is feeding on it will come back so you need to starve the algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
