Howdy  Yall,

Flourish excel at double dose is highly effective at controlling  hair algae. 
HOWEVER. It is also proven effective at controlling  valesineria and at 
least Elodea.  Not sure what other species may be  effected.  Have not yet 
attempted this double dose hair algae  control.  Have Val in most of my 
planted tanks.

One  alternative is have a boat load of snails.  i have 100 ramshorns in a  
30gal. NOT A SPECK OF normal algae.

I would also like to add that  if your tanks are full of plants they will 
naturally out compete algae IF  they are given the opportunity.   Right light 
mix, right  micronutrients.  Makes a huge difference.


God bless, Lee  <><
