My life is a BATTLEFIELD - efficient solution AGAINST ALGAE

TheCineScaper liquid fertilizer:

It can happen even with the experienced aquascapers that the ecosystem got unbalanced. It happens with me too sometimes, so I show you an excellent solution to get rid of the algae. The greatness of the method is the fact, this way you can eradicate - nearly - all kind of algaes. Sidenote: the brush algae is bit more stubborn so you should use it directly.

Be gentle with this chemical and make sure no children can reach it. You mustn’t overdose, it’s very important! Use 3% tincture with a dosage of 1 ml H2O2 to 1L net. aquarium water. You can use it directly or just simply pour it into the tank. It’s up to you.

Normally it doesn’t hurt the flora and fauna but a couple (more sensitive) shrimps can fall.

It can hurt the bacteria partially, but it won’t cause any trouble! After half day of this treatment, you should change at least the half of the aquarium water. If you had more algaes the water can be troubled what also means you should do a water change.

If you have mosses, you want to remove them before using the H2O2, because they can be burnt easily.

The riccia fluitans grew into the parvula, so it caused some trouble, but H2O2 killed it too.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE BAJILLION VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS YETT, your contents are freaking awesome! Those cinematography skills looks like it belongs to a million dollar industry, it just that good. Not to mention you combined my absolute favorite things, aquascaping and amazing cinematic art! The storytelling is entertaining, the aesthetics and composition are extremely satisfying. Just absolutely perfect.

Wow, you actually turned a 3 mins video in something near a war film...chapeau 😍

[peterstainer]

Now normally I'm REALLY reluctant to try something I saw on YouTube because you just never know if it's just a video or if it's truth... THIS WORKS AMAZING! 💪 I can't believe it! (My wife can't either, thought I was going to kill everything in my tank) I did lose 1 fish that wasn't doing that great from the start. After doing a 60% water change my fish are happy, my plants and glass are spotless, and im hoping that I get good plant growth before the algae has a chance to start multiplying again. I did add a peace lily into my set up, in hopes that it will establish itself and soak up the water column nutrients before the algae blooms. THIS FREAKING WORKS!

This is my favorite of your videos so far, really well done

I have a 10g cube aquarium that was covered in string and hair algae of all kinds. The algae covered the plants, the ornaments, the gravel, and especially thrived amidst the dwarf hair grass. I tried scrubbing it with a toothbrush, but that only wrecked all the planted dwarf hair grass. I tried Seachem Flourish Excel and that killed all the shrimp and didn't affect the algae. I bought a couple of new amanos, which are supposed to eat hair algae, and then two more, and finally I had nine amano shrimp, all rolling around enjoying the cushiony comforts of the plush hair algae. Finally, I did what this video suggested and now I have absolutely zero hair algae and a lot of extroverted amano shrimp. This method works!

I always turn the canister filter off for a couple of hours while doing the treatment and set my mobile alarm clock to remind me to turn it on again. But I use a far less quantity out of fear: 30ml for a 100l tank. Thank you for your video!

Those little shrimpies trying so hard to tackle it with their little grabby shrimp hands 🥺🥺🥺 ❤️

I feel your pain, a few months ago, I set up a rather ambitious project, a hillstream biotope aquarium. it has been the tank of my dreams for a few years, and was a project I had always wanted to do. it all went well, although whilst setting it up I did a truly stupid mistake which was adding free rocks from a pet store that was closing down. these rocks had a few tiny tufts of hair algae, but I looked over it, thinking that it wont do any harm. a few weeks later, my £500+ investment was a total wreck, with BBA everywhere. since then, I have added some fish, hillstream loaches for example which feed on the biofilm on rocks, which is now practically non existent, since BBA has covered nearly any surface which is accessible. I try giving them tablets, but these always get immediately eaten by my two weatherloaches. on the BBA front, my first attempt of removing it was simply manually removing it every water change, which failed miserably. attempt number 2, I went to the fish shop and asked for advice, and they just gave me anti hair algae medicine which didn't do a thing. attempt number 3 was adding BBA eating fish, such as Florida flags and apparently otocinlus algae eaters, hardly any difference, they picked at it and that is it. next was attempt four, which included me asking for advice at the aquarium fish superstore, which supposedly has some fish experts which are more knowledgable, they told me to reduce the lighting and dose the tank with easy carbo, it revived the plants, which was good, however the otocinclus haven't done much apart from picking at hair algae and eat some of the little biofilm I have left which is constantly in demand by my shoal of millstream loaches. this method could work, but I think I might just go and bleach dip eve thing in the tank and remove the fish in a holding tank.

Superb video! Brush can be a pain in the a^% sometimes :)

[ShuKatashSam]

3rd way: do a large water change, then use a paint brush on the exposed parts. The submersed parts deep in the tank, hit with the pippette etc and leave for a 1-2 minutes, then refill the tank, wait about 1/2 a day light cycle, dose them both after.

I was on the edge of my seat with this music.

Great video, but people should be aware that if you brush off BBA within the tank that all your doing is spreading that algae to different places. If you can't take it out of your tank to scrub it off, just do the dosing.

Just found your channel through George Farmer. Awesome video's. I love you style!

[myRefuge]

The dopest video I've seen in while! Very nice.

[sunshine]

Amazing video. Love the artistry of the tank and cinematography. Super informative as well.

[HAMZEHAWADALLAH]

your videos quality and music make me love your videos and now i'm sub. to your channel

[vaibhavrathi]

and i came here to get knowledge, but i got knowledge with artistry...awesome

My favorite solution to algae is having a lot of snails, tadpole/pond snails. The excess population becomes puffer food.
From 1 to 5 (1 being bad; 5 being great) of convenience versus nuisance:
Ramshorn snail = 2 (egg clusters are opaque and can ruin the aquascape; too slow to develop; eats algae casually)
Nerite snail = 3 (tendency to leave the tank; may leave eggs and needs saltwater to properly breed; eats algae effectively)
Tadpole snail = 4 (may leave the water infrequently; eggs are almost negligible; develops fast; eats algae occasionally)

Great vid! Peroxide is great for algae. Love the cinematics!
