Algone Aquarium Pouches

Algone's claim to fame is that this product eradicates most types of algae (per their website). I emailed them, and described my algae problem. They offered a plan using Algone to get rid of the algae. I tried it for 8 weeks, and still had the problem.

I never had a high nitrate problem, and don't believe that would cause algae ( per Tom Barr)

Algone is organic, and  does clear up the water but then so might a diatom filter or a UV Sterilizer.

I have tried Algone and followed the instructions to a tee.  I saw no improvement and was going to give one last effort before turning my fish aquarium into a turtle aquarium.  I decided to try Algae Destroyer Advanced (purchased from my local Walmart) even though I didn't have much faith in it.  I made sure it was safe for fish before purchasing.  I put it in my tank and to my surprise, within 3 hours, that's correct, 3 hours, it was as clear as the first day.  I am so glad that I tried it because I love fish, had never had this kind of problem with other aquariums, and wanted to be able to keep them.

While Algone may work for others, it did not work for me.

Tried it before going to CO2 injection without any positive results I could see.

My feeling is its another 'Tank Tea" product.
