tcm080 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I have green algae growth on the acrylic in my nanocube. I have tried the algae scrubber that comes with the tank, no luck, I tried scrapping it off with my fingernails, no luck, What do i try next? i am afraid of scratching the acrylic, and do not want to tear the tank down to use chemicals. Any ideas? Also, what do you guys do to control green hair algae? this stuff makes my tank look like a forest, i have been "harvesting" it, and using RO water for water changes, but have not been able to curb its growth. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tom Link to comment
wenhamjj Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 If you have a Nanocube , it is glass not acrylic. 2nd, how long has your tank been running? And last what is you clean up crew? Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 yeppers nano cubes are glass go get a nimble super from nimblenano.com Very powerful aquarium magnets sold by a "C Jerome" here that wipe out algae on glass. (except coralline for me) If you are in the early stages of cycling, don't worry about it otherwise, get a cleanup crew a single emerald will eat your entire hair population within 2 weeks. they are voracious feeders. Then you can give it away or something because it starts moving stuff around heh Link to comment
