fishmanbrad Small Fry Posts: 3 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Sep-2004   | Hi, I have a planted 55 gallon community aquarium, and with in the last week the tank has almost completely been over run by hair alagae...I have 3 bristle nose plecos, and they keep the tank very clean, except they will no touch the hair alagae... I just recently purchased about 8 ghost shrimp, but they don't seem to be making much of a differeance. Is there anyway to get ride of the hair alagae, and if so, how!? thanks for your help |

Nutrient imbalances which cause most algae can be corrected, i.e. nitrates, phosphates, etc, but a good algae eater is nice to keep it gone. |
