> Ryan-try dosing your tank with Kanamycin. I've had some success with
>it.
Gerry, -- sorry but I think that this is terrible advice to give Ryan. I
don't see what good dosing with an antibiotic would do for hair algae. Our
society is antibiotic mad. Avoid using *anything* like that in your tank
except as desperate measures for an appropriate fish bacteria. A bit of
hair algae is certainly not "desperate".
Ryan -- what kind of algae eaters do you have in your tank now?
Olga
in Vancouver where it's warmer and has sunny breaks.
To repeat-I've had some success with it.
Gerry
in cold rainy Ann Arbor.
