Re: [APD] Using Excel to kill the algae



I don't think Excel will have any effect on BGA, if that's truly what you
have. I had it and the only thing that worked was a dosing of erythromycin
and a complete tank blackout for three days, then physical removal of the
remaining "sheets". As you probably know, true BGA is not algae at all, but
cyanobacteria and thus does not respond to treatment reserved for algae.
After I treated as stated, I've not had a recurrence (knock on wood).

Good luck.

Cheers,

Bob

Alrighty then.  I got my 2L bottle of Excel to treat my 55 and try to bring
it back into the realm of respectability.  What is the recommended dosing
rate to kill the BGA and its friends?

Also just finished the bacteria chapter in Diana W's book.  Very
interesting!
