Re: algae

Hey All, the algae problem, if it is not what Edd had, may be an indicator of 
low reduction - oxidation potential. I am not a chemist, but it sounded from 
the discription that the problem was blue-green algae, which thrives in the 
low redox environment. If that is what it is, then a change in water quality, 
not saying her water is bad, needs to take place through more frequent water 
changes and an increase in water circulation. This problem, blue-green algae, 
does not have to be blue green in color. Most algae eating fish that I have 
had will not eat it. If that is what the problem is, then she may have to 
clean that tank out, circulate the water more, and see if the good algae 
comes back. Just a possibility. Mark Delraso
