Colu Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) The only chemical treatment I use is seachem Excel to treat BBA I would look at what's causing the excessive amount of algae such as how long are your lights on what fertilizer are you using how often are you doing water changes what are your water parameters Edited January 8, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Excessive algae can be caused by lack of nutrients just because your fish provide plenty of waste there could still could lack of certain minerals that's allowing the algae to out compete your plants i would up your lighting period to 8hr a day and start adding a liquid fertilizer like easy green or seachems flourish and trace when every I have had aglae problem I found changing the the lighting period and dosing of liquid fertilizer couple with increase water changes has lead to a significant improvement Edited January 9, 2022 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
