Re: Algae Problem!

Plecos don't eat algae, not once they hit about 1.5". They will knock around plants and add to the bio load tremendously, to different degrees with different spices. There are no good algae eaters, they still need to be feed to survive. For them to control algae, you would need alot of them. Then you couldn't keep many other fish. So that rout is best avoided. Cut back on ferts., and see what happens in a month.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'll make the whole damn world jealous if given the money to do so.


Don't make mistakes and learn from them, read and learn how to avoid mistakes.

a)Fix the damn problem
b)live with it
-But absolutely no b*tching
