Good video on understanding what causes Black Brush Algae.

No magic bullets to instantly kill it off.  No dim your lights tweak your ferts, get algae eating animals…

 

Rather reducing the conditions that makes your tank too inviting to BBA…

just 10 and a half minutes…

Very well worth watching a few times…

Yes we'll worth watching. Needed to watch this a year ago. Thanks for sharing @Pepere

Pretty good video, but for a simple analogy BBA is like ants at a picnic. If you leave the lid off the bowl of cubed watermelon at a picnic, sooner or later you'll get ants. In the aquarium world if you let unhealthy plant growth sit in an aquarium sooner or later you'll get BBA.

Healthy plant growth is the same as putting a lid on the bowl of watermelon.
