How to KILL Black Beard Algae & Staghorn Algae (Easy & Quick)

Thanks so much for watching!

I've been struggling with staghorn and it's really taking over my tank. Low tech just like yours.
I bought some excel to try it out and I'm so happy to see that you've had success with it and actually explaining what you did. There's so much video's out there that tell you to do this but they never actually explain the process and it's actually useless to me.

So just thank you so much for this.

Needed this a couple months ago aha I just ended up doing the 3-4 day no light trick and it worked for the most part

[pink_alchemist]

thanks, guy! So many videos don't really discuss use especially long term dosing (i.e. every few days for such a time period). Appreciate that you did cover it!

It's not low flow or low co2... it's waste organics in my experience. You can see how much detritus kicks up when you use your pipet. Use a turkey baster strapped to a hose and siphon all that stuff out and keep up with your maintenance. In your case a good canister filter would be much better with these size tanks

I like to use spot dose with hydrogen peroxide (6% w/v). Doesn’t harm fish or shrimp. And after an hour or so the fish start to eat the algae.

I swear i love your channel I’ve been here since quarantine started lmao but keep it up 👍🏽

been dealing with staghorn for months now and the closer to the light it is it grows very fast and long so gonna try this stuff and hopefully it works

[lukeborg]

Thanks so much for the video, I use excel on every other day and Potasium in between, il be dosing directly where i have staghorn for now with a pipette

I just got some excel today to try and get rid of the black algae in my tank

I got a black hair algae infection in my 200-litre tank not long after I set it up. I added Dwarf Gouramis and they ate all the algae. To be honest, I'm not sure if that's normal behaviour for Gouramis. 😂

I am beginning to get taken over by staghorn algae in my shrimp tank with a sponge filter but I am slightly confused when you say its from low flow. The growth originated on the outflow tube of the sponge filter and has only grown in the direct path of the flow of water from that tube.

Did it kill your valesneria and crypt? Or affected it at all?

[wolfinthesno]

my tank has pretty heavy flow, and co2 that reaches bright green on a drop checker.... and the BBA is going nuts.... its also driving me nuts.

So in theory you could also setup a DIY Co2 System with x2 2L soda Bottles (baking soda + citric acid mix) and it would also work but may be cheaper. I had a hair algae problem a while ago, luckily it was only on my moss which i added to my shrimp tank and within a week the shrimp sorted it out.

Been doing this, its working. However my tank got cloudy as hell its like new tsnk syndrome

Thanks for this video. Can you overdose excel ? Like everyday 2m per 10 gallons

Appreciate the video! What caught my eye: Are you feeding your fish macaroni noodles??
