Good day po mga sir. Well, not really sure if this is considered a disease. Got brown and dark brown stuff, which looks like algae, that are starting to cover the rocks in my tank. Also got some of it sticking to the glass. Yun yung part na di ko ginagamitan ng pang scrub kasi meron dati white hair-like stuff na sabi nila kinakain daw ng fishes. Parang lumot lang po sha pero gusto ko masigurado kasi baka mamaya kung ano na pala. Any ideas kung ano po yun? TIA

mukhang diatoms yan sir.

Check niyu phosphate po, baka mataas na

Ok po. Thanks mga sir. Baka nga diatoms to kasi yung activated carbon ko di ko pa napapalitan (kanina ko lang napalitan).

how to get rid of phosphates mga sir? or fight that brown algae?

ano GFO sir? hindi cguro efficient ATS ko sir. cguro try ko irevise un ATS ko.. where to get chaeto? need din lighting for that mga sir dba?

ito po algae ng tank ko. pwede pa evaluate mga sir kung good ba yan ko bad?









sabi kasi nila ok un purple and green algae. before i got browns pero i change/transfered my UV..
ngayun nasa first sump ko na un uv. wlang bio o mech filter. then after nung first sump din na ako nag refugium with bio. paevaluate mga sir? tnx

those are algae from a high nutrient tank with low light.. brown algae yan..

may mga expiry ba to mga sir? kasi la nakasulat sa bottle.. maybe bought them late 2010 pa..
effective ba to? para minimize nitrates nitrites and ammonia?

once naka cycle ka na ng tama, you wont be having a high amount of ammonia and nitrite.. unless something big dies.. so you wont be needing the ammovec and nitrivec.. aquatan? what does it do? remove the chlorine and stuff?

yes sir, conditioner ng tubig pro didnt use it lately. before pa..
rgdg ammovec and nitrivec, dba sabi nyo po na mataas nutrients ng tank ko dahil dun sa brown algae?
nakakatanggal ba ammovec ng mga nutrients na nagcaucause ng brown hair algae?

still looking for lawnmowers and gobbies para dun sa algae ng sand and rocks ko. what does cleaner shrimps do sir? tanggal din ng mga algae? tnx

bro cleaner shrimps only cleans fishes not algaes, re lawnmower marami sa gatchalian nyan bro sa mga exporters or try grahf11 baka meron pa syang stocks. one more thing you could try yellow bristle tooth tang lakas mag chow ng GHA nyan HTH
