Most algae are light-loving, and adequate light is indispensable in the process of growth. Therefore, the first thing that the algae in the fish tank need is an environment with adequate light. If the tank is placed in a dark place where there is no direct light, the possibility of algae explosion will be greatly reduced.
Algae growth also needs certain nutrients, so only when the water is eutrophic will the phenomenon of algae explosion occur. If the content of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the water is relatively low, algae will not be able to reproduce in large quantities due to lack of nutrients. If you want to improve the nutrition of the water body, you only need to feed a little more bait at ordinary times.
Generally, fish tanks with aquatic plants rarely explode algae, because the growth of aquatic plants occupies a certain growth space, but also absorbs nutrients in the water, so algae can not grow. Therefore, if you want to prevent algae explosion, you can plant a certain number of aquatic plants in the fish tank.
In addition to aquatic plants, beneficial bacteria in water, especially nitrifying bacteria, can also play a role in inhibiting algae outbreaks. They can convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrite and nitrate, so algae will lose some nutrients. The outbreak of algae also shows that the nitrification system in the fish tank is not well established.
