It should do the trick, make sure you keep the lights low during the process as this will really help the med do its work. good luck, let me know how it goes!

Did it work?

He died fighting algae 😂

Glad it was helpful, thank you for watching

Thank you, I am glad you found the video useful :)

That's great news! I'm glad my video has helped you rid your tank of the algae! :) Thank you for sharing

Good luck! I haven't seen this pesky algae since I done this so can say it works with confidence :)

Did it work?

Thanks for the sub!

Hello Emma-Jane Scriven, Yes, it is that easy - it will just take time but it will go. Just remember that if it doesn't go by the 4 weeks, reduce your lighting a little more :)

Good luck, The reduced light combo really helped with this product! Let me know how you get on :)

Did it work?

Thanks for the comment Zorba! Interesting feedback on Jungle Val, something for others to watch out for! Good to hear that it is growing back! Thanks for watching the video & happy new year to you too!

Fingers crossed, good luck

Easy green is a fert

Thanks for the comment Benjamin Nguyen, let me know how it goes! be interesting to see if it solves your BBA quicker than the 4 weeks of Algaexit

Yeah, just like with humans, fish also have a preference when it comes to eating types of algae. It is unfortunately one of those types that once it is in your aquarium, more often than not, chemicals are required should you want to remove it. Thanks for watching

Hello Bev Frigon, the packaging of this product claims that it is safe for all types of fish, crustaceans and plants. no mention of molluscs though, I have used this on an aquarium with a Nirite snail with no adverse effects, the active ingredient of this product is 'Salicylic acid' which to my knowledge doesn't harm snails, but as the manufacturer 'Easy-Life' doesn't state it is safe for molluscs, I can't with 100% certainty claim to you that it is 100% snail safe.

Thank you so much for replying. Now I will see if I can find it in Canada.

That is surprising to hear that excel caused you those problems, my understanding is excel is an alternative to air CO2. The product I share in this video is completely safe for fish, shrimp & molluscs and is designed to target specific algae's.

@@BigFishLittleFishAquatics I did some digging and found that while excel advertises itself as liquid CO2, it's actually an algaecide. It's main ingredient is a concentrated disinfectant often used in hospitals. Killing off the algaes makes more of the tank's natural CO2 content available to your plants, so it functions similarly enough to CO2 that they can call it "liquid CO2." It's technically safe for fish in low doses, but they don't recommend getting it on your skin and it bleached my shirt, so that should tell you something lol. The bottle recommends dosing 5ml per 10gallons, but most of what I found in my research says that 1ml should be considered a safe 10gal dose. I was putting a whole capful in and I really only needed a drop. I'm assuming the repeated mild stress of weekly doses just did the critters in.

@@josephdonovan2123 That is pretty wild! Did not know that, thanks for sharing!

Never heard about that approach, I'd worry about the boiling water warping the plastic of the filters. Interesting that that has worked for you in the past.

@@BigFishLittleFishAquatics It doesn't have to be boiling. Just very hot. Dip for about 10 seconds. BBS will change colour straight away. Once you tried it you will be using this method all the time. Rocks or any decor.

Thanks for the feedback. Others don't seem to have had the same problem.

Or you could just turn it up a bit. I know that is a lot of work but it works fine for everyone else.

seemed fine for me
