Algae Control

Tetra - Maintenance - Algae Control

Algae in the aquarium can spoil the fun of even the most beautiful and elaborate aquascape and have even led some aquarium owners to give up this wonderful hobby, even though algae are just as much a part of an aquarium as fish or aquatic plants. Still, a rampant algae bloom or a creeping blue-green algae infestation is one of the biggest annoyances for aquarists. A common cause of algae in the aquarium is nutrient imbalances. Low nitrate levels can cause green algae, whereas high iron levels can favor red algae, brush algae and brown algae. Insufficient lighting can also upset the balance and give algae an advantage, as they get by with far less light than many higher aquarium plants. Are algae already on the march? Well, first you should get to the bottom of the cause using water tests, and only then take targeted countermeasures. Fortunately, Tetra offers a number of products for reliable algae control and restoring the balance. Thanks to its liquid form, the particularly effective Tetra AlguMin releases its active ingredients immediately, reliably and quickly ridding the aquarium of most types of algae. Tetra AlgoStop Depot is particularly suitable for larger aquariums from 40 liters and has a preventive effect. Tetra Algizit tablets are very easy to dose and combat red algae, green algae and brown algae. Even stubborn types such as brush algae or beard algae can be tackled with Tetra's care products. In modern aquarium keeping, a severe algae bloom is no longer a reason to restart the aquarium. With Tetra's clever helpers for algae control, aquascapers can find their way back to crystal-clear water and the perfect final shot.
