algae bloom
It should not be harmful. Just let it sit overnight with a small quantity of bleach in it to kill the algae. Then wash the pitcher with dishsoap before refilling it with water and it will be good as ever.
Algae is caused by the change of nutrients in the water.
Pool PH should always be maintained between 7.2 & 7.6. Most other pool chemicals including algaecides, clarifiers, and chlorine work most effectively with PH maintained in that range.
with a good enoungh filter and some speicies of loach u should not need to change gravel they also sell vacuums that can clean food and algae out of gravel. hope I helped <3
Your local fish store should carry various types of algae and algae supplements.
dont use soap use clorine
You just have water and don't change it 'til 10 days The fire algae is the large no. In sea water or ocean.. Some people relefe the algae and they use for fire
None, algae indicates a problem that should be resloved.
If you're having trouble getting algae in a tank with algae eaters there a couple of explanations to consider. 1. They are eating all the algae. Fish can see algae before we can in many cases. 2. The conditions for algae are not correct. My advice is to buy sinking algae wafers for you algae eaters. Drop them in a couple hours before you turn the lights off. They contain extra vitamins etc. that fish won't get from just eating algae. Don't leave the algae disks in for more than and hour and remove what's left over, otherwise you'll begin polluting your tank water.
Sugest you have a talk with your poolshop before you do anything I have never seen a black algae contamination as bad as you describe. IE it may not be black algae.
