jasonpisani   *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003   | Like the title says.... I've got some hair algae on the Anubias leaves & i would like to know how can i get rid of it, I tried removing it by hand, but it's not easy & doesn't come off. Shall i leave the tank lights off for a few days?. I keep the lights on for 6/8 hours daily & the wattage of the neon tube is 55W. Thanks alot....... http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

I had a small outbreak of it in the Betta tank not long after I set it up and the Cherry barb managed to get on top of it. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
