darwin604 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 My GSP is once again getting infested with algae . . however this time it's hair algae. I vaguely remember someone telling me to use a tooth brush . . is this okay? I dont want to damage the polyps so I've been waiting until they contract (about an hour after the light goes off) and lightly scrubbing them with a 'soft rated' toothbrush. GSP's are pretty hardy but I'm wondering if this practice is okay . . thanks! d. Link to comment
