AlgaeFix -green hair problem

[nick]

I recently started getting green hair algae in frag tank that i had set up about 6 months ago. I had used my main reef tanks water. But I also have done many water changes since then. I wanted to try AlgaeFix from Dr foster and smith before? It suppose to clear up algae problems. I wanted to know how it worked for you? Just curious i wanted to solved this problem.

Manually pruning and multiple water changes were the only things that worked long term for me.

it worked on my nano 12g. i had pair of clowns with cleaner shrimp , some snails and crabs. after fourth dose you could see GHA just floating in the tank. but i did manually pull as much as i could.

Yea I have tried pruning and mulitple water changes. This hasnt really worked. Some people say that the water in Brooklyn isnt the greatest. But i have been using a brita filter -to filter the water. I havent really invested in an RO as of yet be/c the tank is only a 20long.

Ahh it worked in your tank.

what Deanos said ... the brita filter won't do much (if anything)

Yea, i figure it would help some. MM I might actaully try making my own from diy sites or buy something that will work for a good price.

Algae Fix Marine Works

I had a bad Algae problem and after 4-5 treatments it no longer a problem all my corals and inverts had no problems that I took note of. On the second day I brushed most of the Algae off the rocks etc and I set up a filter sock in the sump and siphoned it out over night.

Your going to spend more on chemicals in the long run than if you bought a R/o filter. here go browse these work.

even if the chemicals works, how are you going to prevent a reemergence of the algae unless you find a way to control your nutrients?
