What do u mean :? :?:

Do u mean what chemicals to get rid of algae if so well the best way to get rid of algae is to do a 50% w/c which will get rid of excess nutrients.

Also add alot of plants to ya tank just cheap ones to suck up the nutrients in the water untill you get on top of things.

Another things what do u add to the water what lighting, ferts, co2 etc ?

Keep us posted :wink:

GoodLuck!

In regards to algae i reccomend water changes, algae eaters and monitor your chemical levels. particular Phosphates

Many years ago i use Phosphate resin to absorb phosphate. It was made by seachem and worked well, Didnt fix the tanks inherent problem which is always best to find for a long term solution

Hey Darth,

If you mean using chemicals to get rid of toxins in the water, I hear that Sera Toxivec is good for people who are lazy with water changes.
