Excellent video. Judging by the pristine condition of your aquariums you are a far more accomplished aquarist than me. Total respect to you 🙏🏻 My two aquariums are very low tech , filtered only by box and sponge filters. Algexit did the job for me, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Finally a video that deals with the causes of BBA. Wonderful video. Now to act on the causes of my BBA.

This is the best content I ever saw. Congratulations and thank you for your kindness. 👏👏👏👏👏

the best explanation about it. Congratulations! nice!

Excellent information.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated

Thank you! Very helpful.

Thank you for making these videos. You are knowledgeable and these videos have helped me very much!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi that was a wonderful video, very easy to understand and very informative, so in my discus tank I should remove my wave maker?

Thank you for this valuable information. I have what I think is black beard, although it grows mostly on the edges of my plants. I did some pretty serious plant trimming on some giant val and also removed a lot of floating plants. At the same time, I placed a Marienland polishing filter in the tank which created a lot of flow. I left it in there for several days. This is when I first began seeing the algae. So, it appears I did all of the things which created the perfect environment for the algae.

very informative, I thank you! So if your outflow is concentrated (in 1 area) does this cause algae in that area (it is directed) or does the algae thrive in areas where water flow is low/non existent?

Thank you for this video. how often should the water be changed when having BBA and should I be fertilising with every water change.

Sorry for another question. But will an air stone placed behind areas that block water flow alleviate/correct that missing water flow?

Thanks brother

Thanks so much for this video. I knew that water flow would be an issue for my axolotl and shrimp, but didn't make the correlation between water flow and the plants. Looking forward to a clean tank!!

Is the translation done by steven chong? And thanks for the instructions, bba has always been one of the hardest algae to get rid of

You rock

Nice and clear, from the three reasons I have one that coulb be ,,,a strong current in may 55 gallons tank running with a Fx5 fluval filter, but the excess of day light ( not sun light) can be a cause too? the problem start when I change my sustrate for Carib sea eco complete planted black aquarium sustrate , do you think I shoud change the sustrate too,? thank you.

What kind of lights are you running?

Is 2 year old ada v2 aquasoil too old?

I'm off to buy more plants.🌿

I recently had a black beard algae problem. But I solved it. Thanks to the community. I have posted updates on my channel.

Thank you very much, hope u guys can do a video abt how to remove "Black Dot Algae on leaf" thanks

Hello hello i would like to understand the part when you mentioned about changing new media. But if we do so then the beneficial bacteria we would need to cycle the biomedia again. Wouldnt it be a hassle?

When you mentioned water changes to control algae, do you mean 70-80% water changes? I was doing ( I dropped out of the hobby because of algae) about 20% weekly water change. Also using 2 tube plant light 12 hrs. I was using the right size of bio-wheel filter, no air stone. 40 gal. breeder tank, no air stone. Later on I switched to a submersible filter and then connected a sugar/yeast bottle up to the venturi hose (uncontrolled, 24/7). (Now that I think of it, I may have had more algae problems when I did the sugar/yeast trick. Been 10 yrs+ to recall that thought,)

For next video i would like to see how to get rid of hair algae or string algae

i have 0 nitrates and phosphates and still got bba....

How does high water flow trigger BBA?

The worst algae of all? Is the black hard algae that gets on Anubias especially. Its like spray paint,no scrubbing it off. My guess is thrives in a certain light spectrum also.

Thank you. I thought having slow or weak water flow will grow the bba or bga in the tank.

Please make video for green hair alage.

Once it grew on my bettas ripped fin T_T Thats when I noticed the fluffy balls on my hardscape...

In my opinion the main cause are to high amounts of iron instead of nitrates and phosphorus.

to the end ...out with fish tanck from window...
