Many of the methods cited here for algae control address the bio filter, but some do not and those that do should be used first based on my experience.Īs well, one common thread as to aquarium algae issues that emerged of late is the common use of poorly designed Chinese made LEDs that do not understand the basics of aquarium lighting PUR, often having too much light in the "blue" spectrums It is is also noteworthy that one should start with a healthy bio filter meaning an aquarium that is not battling high ammonia & nitrites. As well, my methods may not work as well for some as all it often takes is new/different variable for an algae control method to be less effective. Please note that algae control is NOT an exact science and there are many methods I have not used or researched that may also work. The information contained herein is based on my experience with literally 1000s of contract client aquariums over the years, as well as research, and feedback from other aquarium keeping professionals. I will add to and update this article as well over time. This Aquarium Answers article (post) is not intended as a complete algae control article, but is intended to address the types of algae that I receive the most questions about which are Brown Diatom Algae, Freshwater Thread/Hair Algae, Black Beard Brush Algae (BBA), and Marine Hair Algae aka Filamentous marine algae (I address other algae as well in this article).
