I'm having problems with black hair-like algae in two Eclipse 25 and
35 gallon tanks, but not much in my 100 gallon with Eheim filteration.
Do you think it could be the extra surface agitation in the eclipse
that tips the balance? They have about the same water mix, the same
Kent fertilizer. CO2 injection in the 100 gallon, none in the Eclipses.
The algae is present in all 3 tanks, but just stays under control in
the big one.
