Marine Depot Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 is that video going to include the actual cures of the pictured algae, as in tank examples for each one The goal is to help you recognize the most common types of nuisance algae that plague saltwater aquarists so you can identify it in your tank. We will then share preventative tips and advice on how to get rid of it based on our actual experiences. I would not go as far as saying we are going to offer "cures." If only it were that simple! Cleaning and/or treating your aquarium without addressing the underlying causes is only a temporary solution. It is important to correct each of the factors contributing to your algae problem for a more long term fix, but even then you'll need to stay regular with your maintenance to keep water quality issues in check before they become a bigger problem. Oh I got some before during and (hopefully ) after of a cyano issue in my lagoon tank Although I am aware it's a bacteria yes,still a pest We welcome any and all imagery! The sooner, the better! No pressure, of course. Can hopefully take picture of diatomaceous in a couple of days. Currently not at home. Too bad if u asked a couple weeks ago I had a huge cyanocobalamin problem. We are hoping to release the video on Friday at some point, but even if you aren't able to share any imagery until after its release, we could still feature it with the accompanying blog post or in a future episode.
