The Puffer Forum

I don't know how i got it, it must have came from some of the plants I bought online. How do I get rid of it? I heard co2 helps stop it, ancd I have co2. I do frequent water changes as well. It just showed up out of the blue. I do not want to use any chemicals against it if possible. Should I turn my lights out and do some water changes?

Anyone ever deal with this algea? I could use any advice you guys have.

I've never dealt with it. Sorry. I'm actually not even sure what it is.

you may not have enough flow - do all of your leaves sway in the current? you could install a powerhead to make sure that you don't have any dead spots.

I take it that you are injecting CO2?

I was referred to this article a while ago. It's really helped me.

Thanks guy's. I already have a strong current in my tank and yes I use co2.
