Green water, daphnia, Algone, Belyjo plants
Hi everyone,
I recently developed green water in three of my tanks so I puchased a daphnia
pulex culture from LFS cultures. If filtration in your aquarium is limited
to a sponge type, they will help clear the tank in a few days but most likely
your fish will enjoy eating them before much is achieved. I am now trying
Algone which I believe is based on the well known fact, in pond circles
anyway, that barley straw gets rid of unwanted algae. Algone appears to be
a mix of plant fibres that add something to the water that decreases or
eliminates nitrites, nitrates and algae. I have added the product to several
of my tanks. It has been 4 to 5 days and I see no new algae growth, plants
are doing fine, water is clear in tanks without green water and water appears
to be starting to clear in tanks with a green algae problem. The product is
designed to take about two weeks for complete results. I did not take
nitrite and nitrate readings before usint the product. If others would like
to try this product for FREE, contact me offline. I have a limited number of
samples from the manufacturer that I will share.
On a completely different subject, I am importing Belyjo "invitrio" produced
plants from Canada and would like to trade some of these plants for
interesting swords, aponogetons etc. I have Rotala rotundifolia, Sagittaria
subulata, Bacopa caroliniana, Bacopa monnieri, Lobelia cardinalis,
Potamogeton crispus, Aponogeton longiplumulosus, Hydrocotyle leucocephala,
Hygrophila rosanervis, Ludwigia repens and Myriophyllum exalbescens for
trade. Please contact me offline if you have plants to trade.
