Great tips for handling algae

I've got black beard algea growing at the top of my tank on the wood. I thought about getting rid of it but it catches debris and my platty fry can grab a little snack every once in a while.

Thanks! I got a new bright LED light for my 125G and have been battling algae ever since. I had never battled it before with my older lights. I’ll cut the hours significantly via timers to see if that helps.

Like ure channel keep up the good work 😎👍👊

Thanks🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

Hey Cory. My growing fishroom has a double edged sword that is working pretty well, though it is a bit of a hmmmm I want to say crap shoot but I am getting it figured out. My room is a subterranean basement. It is totally finished, but no natural light. So I bought plants that were "easy," or did not need the sun in the same room. So I almost aspire to have Algea, just so I know I have enough light. Bentley Pascoe has been helpful and do far my plants are growing well, with no Algea!! I put one of those tabs on the glass and my Mystery snails do Mach 3 to get there. Hoping I can keep this balance. As usual thanks Cory.

He is spot on regarding the amazon and neighbours

Thank you for talking about the blue lights at night I have purple moonlight LEDs because my fish just had their fry hatch and I was helping them “see” what they were doing because it’s their first clutch. Tank is also a month old so I guess two things kind of added to the algae bloom on the glass. Also the tank is in a sunny room but not in indirect light so I’m assuming it’s getting some UV bouncing off the carpet into the tank.

Yes

Big algae problem in my tank so helpful

Light intensity adjustment and placos work for me,. Flow in major I may need to increase the flow in some areas in my piranha tank.. 🤔

Ha too much light! I have a tank that’s part of a indoor garden system and my entire dining room is the sun on 10 with so many other indoor gardens 😂 I wish it was big enough for all this other fun stuff. Never thought I would want to have fish :) this little tank got me hooked!

Great talk, can u speak about wasting disease, do I need to take down the tank

I have snails and live plants and amano and cherry shrimp, but still algae on my glass... I have a fluval aquasky that I've been keeping on blue all night. I'll change that habit tonight and see if it has any effect. Thanks!

Hello there! I really like your videos and it’s helpful too. In this case I’m would like to ask you to recommend to me some “cleaning crew” to my tank please. I must mention that I’ve a turtle as well. 30 gallon tank and unfortunately algae started to growing madly. Many thanks in advance

@ Raw Egg It really is. I have yet to see any bodies tank with zero algae. Its a single celled and extremely simple plant that will grow in the most hostile and ideal environments. I mean unless you only keep bleach in your fish tank, you will have some level and some type of algae.

Love your videos. My African clawed frogs are so dirty. I am battling algae after allowing too much indoor and natural light while away. Will they eat snails?

lol, im watching this on christmas! he knows me too well, haha

Got a new tank, and made the mistake of adding fish too early (all of my fish have survived and seem happy so i feel accomplished) so after battling ammonia and changung water every day, sometimes 2x a day, it finally stabalized. Not ling after tho i started getting alot of algea lol a bunch of little 2 inch fish takes more maintenance then a dog or cat

I like some types of algae and grow them intentionally. That said you don't always get what you want but at times you get what you need. I couldn't keep Otocinclus without it.

Hey, Cory. Can you do a video on how to tell if something will be safe long-term (for fish, inverts, and plants) in a tank? Like, if I have a toy or something that's not specifically made to be aquarium décor, how do I know it won't leach anything into the water? Or are there things a home aquarist can do to make them safe?

Hey Cory! Great video! 2 questions..1) I have algea on my plants in my 75g. I have cut back my lights a few weeks ago ..now about 12 hours. I will cut back to 10. I have the fluval 3.0 I got from you. Love it. Do you have a recommendation for what to set each Spectrum for? I have snails, Otis, plecos, and guppies and swords and rams and cory cats in this tank. 2) Isn't some algea a good thing? Just as long as your glass isn't covered on 4 sides and your water green? When I look at a tank if I see some algea I don't think it's always bad....but should I?

I like to see very minimal amounts of algae. As for spectrum of plants, I'd eliminate the blue. The rest you can tune to what you like to look at.

Where do you get those amazing stofft aquarium fish??

Hi! I'm dealing with brown diatoms in my single betta tank , with bubbler , filter, and heater plus led light.

I have 2 aqua clear filters one on each side of my aquarium. Plus my sponge filter and an air stone so I have plenty for flow. My lighting is not adjustable but it is an LED that sits on top. I can’t really do plants because it’s an African cichlid tank. But you mentioned snails. I’m thinking they may turn into fish food or maybe not. What is your suggestion? I am using algefix from API at the moment

I use to keep snails and they never did much for my algae problem. Otto's though destroyed all the brown in my tank.

It seems to just be improving my algae issue. I didn't have a issue till I bought plants from local pet store.

What do you recommend as far as liquid fertilizer and liquid CO2? I use both as recommended on the bottles but not sure if I should be adjusting to compensate for the algae/plant ratio.

Cory fishes are the hard working fishes and is good to have in the aquarium

Do you have a video specific to black brush algae?

Thank you I had an algae fish thing but it died to day (from old age) and he wasn’t doing a great job as he got older so my algae started to take over

I made the mistake of using API algae treatment. It said that it was safe to use with fish in the tank. I was very careful to measure the right amount. It killed 5 of my cory catfish.

I have two 55 gallon tanks, different brands, same lighting, same filter and filter media, same brand of decor etc. The one in our living room which is exposed to more light has very little algae. The one in my man cave however which has no windows and sees less light is just coated in algae. I don't get it, it grows so incredibly fast and they are both the exact same right down to the substrate except for the tank itself. Is it possible that the tank could be promoting algae growth? I've never heard of such a thing myself but I am stumped.

Hey so ive got a 20 gallon tall, and i have 3 mollies, 3 white clouds, a bristlenose pleco, and a pea puffer. Im kinda itching to add something new. Is there anything I can add? Any advice is nice.

I have a 5gal Betta fish tank.. few small plants but I can't get rid of green hair like algae. Maybe I need to clean more often. I need some snails I think as well.

I seem to have cycled through a bunch of different kinds of algae. As soon as I fix one kind, another pops up. Right now it's a green soft algae, I believe green dust. Most accounts of it talk about it growin gon the glass, but this stuff is actually growing more on the plants than the glass, and it doesn't just wipe off as easily off plant leaves as it does glass. I'm almost ready to do a blackout...

When the thumbnail so HD you think it's an upload from Shwiskey

ive been battling annoying algae growth in my tank for about the last year or so which is also around the same time that i installed a nightime blue led strip that i would keep on all day and all night................ If that led strip is the cause of my problem i am going to loooose it lol. I would have never even thought twice about it affecting anything.

Hello aquarium co-OP I was wondering I'm gonna set up a 16 gallon fluval flex I wanna see Carib Sea Eco Complete Planted Black Aquarium Substrate is it safe for bumblebee gobies and corydoras please help me

Are there certain color spectrums and intensities that attract algae? What ranges should I have green, red, and white light and what intensities that will be good for plants, but won’t promote algae growth?

I have a hard water ..my best solution for hair algae is dosing h2o2 (safe for moss, shrimp and snails just don't overdose) no need for a blackout..then for the other types of algae, scraping/wiping then a water change is usually the best way. I use algae eaters for prevention rather than solution, after all waste is usually the cause of algae. I also use immersed or floating plants since they absorb alot of excess nutrients faster and can be easily controlled

Do you clean your fuge macro algae? buying macroalgae from ebay for example Pom Pom, i got a make sure it doesn't have any type of diseases, any feedback how i can treat that planet should i coral dip it or?

Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19

I change the lighting hours from 12 to 8 hours and white algea started growing. I would gravel vac and placed my HOB on the side versus in the mid, to have a better water flow. The next day more white looking algea are on my plants and substrate. Please help

I had to place a plastic bottle over my airpump cuz i have a betta and the flow was too rough for him so now i barely have any flow so the side away from the filter is entirely covered in algae and it grows so damn fast.. mm i might put in an airstone on that side temporarily

If you know how to get algae then you know to reduce it

I just started my 2nd tank using soil capped with Eco Complete. I wanted a capped substrate that wasn't going to raise my PH. On the petco ad it said it "will not raise PH", but when you get the bags it says may raise PH, a big WTF there. I have a 40gal breeder, 2 beamworks 6500k lights the one with the white and blue running on 6 hours for now with co2 and I am getting a lot of this dark green almost brown hair algae, I have a penn plex cascade 700 and a small aquaclear for extra filtration...I manually remove it and do big water changes and it grows back...............what am I doing wrong..............my bet is I messed up using soil and eco complete together

I intentionally keep a thin layer of green algae on all sides of my 7.5 gallon betta planted tank and only scrub off the front viewing panel. It's not all that bad to have algae.

Some species eat algae, but can't reproduce in an aquarium. But even if they can, the amount of food they find will limit their numbers. Limit the food they can get and they will grow slow, reproduce less whenever they reach the limit.

I can't say that I agree with "plants can't see" blue light. Blue light is what chlorophyll 'a' absorbs. Chlorophyll 'a' is the primary chlorophyll found in plants. It is also in algae. I do agree, however, that having lights on all night isn't a good idea.
