If you have algae, you have nutrients which are feeding the algae.

Getting a proper bio-load (demand placed upon the material, chemical and biological filters by uneaten food, decomposing inhabitants, accumulated organics and waste produced by livestock, foods and plant matter in the aquarium filtration system) established can be done by understanding the basics- the more poopers you have, the more eaters you need.

One key to proper bio-load is to have biological diversity.

Please note the questionnaire below will help us steer you in the direction to reduce the overall nutrient accumulation resulting in less algae. The need for proper tank maintenance, water filtration and preparation, along with vigilant husbandry of tank additions also plays a large part in the overall health and aesthetics of your aquarium.

Please copy and paste the questionnaire into an email, complete and send to us at Customize My Crew
