I hàd a different experience with the all in one Easy Green from Aquarium co op. I have kept soil bases heavy planted tanks going into 40+yrs, no filter, no water change, no co2 , some heavy stocked some low stocked. All healthy and breeding for profit. Medium 6500k lights on 12h LED. Started getting hair algae in the 75g shrimp tank started using Easy Green twice weekly and the hair algae gone in 30days. So I started using it in my other tanks weekly without issue. IMO/E some algae is good for the system all be it controlled and not impeding plant growth. Best testing IME is the power of observation.

Different things work for different tanks/ people for sure. I appreciate your feedback and experience/ testimonial. Thank you. Different things work for different folks and there definitely isn't one easy answer for 100% of hobbyists generally. What lights do you use? If someone has fluval planted plus (2.0/3.0) lights or medium to high power lights, this video is not the right one (then you'd do as you say, and push through the algae, adding more....in most cases. ) Also if you have a heavy fish or plant load it can alter things (heavy fish load and you'll likely be adding too many nitrates if you choose to keep dosing non-stop, but if you have lots of stem plants or water sprite, duck weed, etc ... then those extra minerals in easy green may be more important and useful to your plants- even with the higher nitrates. It definitely all comes down to experience and testing your tank to understand what is going on. Also if you stay on top of water changes of even 20% a week you'll avoid hitting algae in many tanks that get it for folks who relax on their schedule. But as I say in the beginning, I think easy green is a great all in one product for low tech/ medium tech tanks, but people need to know which fertz cause which reactions and either dose elements individually during blooms or just back off all in one's if they can't power through it (generally).

Yeah, your fish and fish food honestly provides most of what slow and low light plants need... without both co2 and light...the colors are not gonna happen... so forget overloading the water column with those subtle nutrients that the plants can barely use. That being said, mid light to high light can benefit greatly from liquid fertz and all in ones...just look for one that isn't full of nitrates, if you have a full tank load of critters, and don't want to do 2x a week water changes

So there is no one set amount annoyingly. It's not like solid soil plants. Aquatic plants that feed at the root act similar and can usually be dialed in to a species "estimative index", but the water column plants need far far less nutrients , so most high end plant tanks will change 50% or 80% water in a week... and use a single pump or emulsified powder scoop of some diy or all in one plant fert. I recommend looking up EI Dosing or estimative index dosing, and then Tom barr at the barr report or 2 hr aquarist... or aquariumscience.com

This is totally true if you are using medium or high light, or co2. It's also true if you are just cycling a tank through the usual bloom that happens within the first 6 months. I have several videos covering the same thing your talking about..."powering through" blooms. However, low light, low tech generally that doesn't work out for most people other than that first big bloom you get with planted tanks

I just watched this. So in a nutshell you recommend stopping all in one fertilizer (for awhile), do a big water change, reduce the lighting to maybe six hours a day but if you have a good light turning it up to the highest level. Am I understanding this correctly? I have a 12 gallon bookshelf Aquarium and algae is the bane of my existence. I have one of the Aquarium Co-Op new LED lights. I do at least a 50% water change every week. Since the tank is not very tall I have the light at 50%. I am very new to fish keeping and really enjoy your channel.

Stronger lighting for an 8 hour or less window may help... and honestly using some fertalizers may help (or could hurt it... its a toss up to know if it would help your plants boost their metabolism, or whether it could just keep feeding the algae...so it's very trial and error, specific to knowing your tank). Sorry that's not of more help...

He lives in Newport Rhode the lucky baster Lol, just trying to grab the scope of the money he making. So you said you might go to the salmon ladder and do some videoing the salmon climbs the ladder. I really like to see that. We have something like that in Dartmouth Massachusetts, at horse neck beach In the estuaries they had built lock with a small ladder and they try and climb it. I don't know the name of the fish but try to climb it and get into the freshwater streams and people catch them and use for bait. So back to the love of the hobby , all 10 of my tank All doing great great except for one of my tanks on a bottom of my rack. they had a breakout of tail rot not extreme but enough to kill my male betta and a few of large sailfin mollies. So not think of course I went right to salt treatment. I dose accordingly for fungus and bacteria, a few days later I was check out my 20 gallon that I treated. I said what the f*** happened to hornwort, the salt disintegrated it. My Amazon sword was staying to melt also. So I did a 50% water change, then 2 days after I did another . I never realize that salt could do that to a plant. One last thing my sobriety doing really good Sorry for a long message Ok your friend John e Massachusetts here

Although u tried, by taking the analogy to a high level u completely missed the plot. I wish you would have just said it straight. Waste of time.

Can you illuminate me on what was missing, in your opinion? I recently did another video on how low light can "cause algae" just as easily as high light...and perhaps that holds the remainder of what you were thinking should have been covered.

@@Fishtory To be honest its not whats missing, I kinda lost the plot after i reached 10 minutes in the video, I was really searching for a solution to my black beard algae in simple terms. Not all times do we need really verbose videos, when the answers are needed fast and simply put. All the best for your channel.
