 | AlgaeFix - Plant Killer? |
sly  Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004   | I'm trying rid my tank of nasty blackbeard/staghorn algae and wanted to use AlgaeFix. But before, will AlgaeFix kill my plants as well? I've been getting varying statements that it does kill plants while others say it does not.  |
