Thread Algae

c_gwinner · 11-26-2012, 06:17 PM

My tank seems to be getting over taken by this stuff and my lighting as it stands is around medium to medium low lighting with the floating plants and stuff. I dose excel once a day and flourish 2 times a week. My taiwan moss and fissidens are completely coated it seems.

Should I spot treat with excel or just pull out as much as I can?

Should I just take the plunge and jump into pressurized CO2?

Take out as much as you can and spot treat with peroxide. You can add up to 3 ml of peroxide per gallon of tank water. Turn off you filter first and leave it off for 20 minutes after. Having pressurized CO2 will help at preventing algae.
