+Hydro Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Its worth it,helps elimate hair alge. You can see the difference within a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I used it and saw nothing from it except my empty wallet and an empty bottle. I have one unopened bottle and one bottle that is partly opened if you want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 ^ listen to mark. I've used it with no noticeable change in my tank. Out of curiosity, did Shane at Fishy Business recommend you use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Huegin Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have not been to that store or spoken with him. I just read some other forums and saw people had some success with it, so I ordered some. I am only using this for a 30 gallon tank, so hopefully i will notice some results. Will let you know. It is coming in the mail today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eckreef Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I tried it with the same results as Mark....none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medi Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Same here...did nothing for my tank, but I know myself and Mark already have low nutrient systems so maybe that is why we didn't see any changes. I've read a lot of people who swear by it for hair algae problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabeetus Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 a quick google search and i came up with only one answer to this inquiry.. it doesn't work.. it might kill off the hair algae for a short period of time, but it will be back more so than before. and i also read a whole lot of "my pod population went way down" and "i do not recommend this to anyone who has a reef or refugium". i was interested in the stuff as well in a friends tank, but after reading a few other forums on the subject i definitely do NOT want to let anyone try it in their tank.

Long Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 What is the alternative to getting rid of hair alge? I had some growing on a rock and only way I could get rid of it was remove it and let it dry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Manual removal, water changes, GFO, RODI water for making water. Also, if you havent changed your RODI filters in a while that would be beneficial. Light bulb/lamp lifetime can also bea factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+lewk Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It definitely works. Knocked out lots of hair algae in my tank after about 4 doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadodge Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It worked for me in an old tank, DONT follow the dosing instructions...I put 2 BIG bottles in a 72G bowfront in a week and within a month i was having to daily clean my return filter cause it was clogging up with HA. But a permenant solutio is NUTRIENT EXPORT i.e. you have to find out whats feeding the HA and stop/slow it down and find a way for something beneficial to grow off of what it is growing from. Thats where MARINE SAT can help, its a micro bacteria that feeds on what the HA is growing from. You cant overdose it. A good fuge with chaeto an mangroves will help. A good skimmer working properly will help. Good water change water will help, it goes alot further than "here is the solution and it will be fixed in a day". Sometime time is the answer. But you have to get some sort of NUTRIENT EXPORTING going. Sorry for the rant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
