Artificial algae removal is a relatively simple method, find a soft cloth, directly wipe the tank wall attached to algae, wipe it off. It should be noted that the cloth can not be too hard, especially to wipe the acrylic fish tank, otherwise a wipe will leave traces, greatly affecting its ornamental. Artificial algae removal is simple, but it can only remove the surface, if the environment is not changed, algae will soon grow.
Drug algae removal has certain risks, once the dosage is not well controlled, it is easy to cause harm to fish. Commonly used algae removal drugs are copper sulfate and glutaraldehyde, glutaraldehyde, for example, usually every 100 liters of water can be dropped into 5 milliliters of 2% concentration solution can play a preventive effect, if the algae has been exploded, it is necessary to increase the dosage, every 40 liters of water will use the same amount of drugs.
Biological removal of algae is to rely on a variety of aquatic animals that feed on algae, such as the elves in fish, moss rats, etc. Many shrimps feed on algae, such as Yamato shrimp, polar shrimp, etc. You can also raise some snails, such as abalone snails, military cap snails. It should be noted that mixed culture must ensure that they do not attack each other.
Any way of removing algae can not guarantee its complete removal, algae explosion is largely due to the environment suitable for their growth and reproduction, so we need to change it. For example, reducing the light time of the fish tank, reducing feeding and fertilization, which can slow down its growth rate.
