How I Cured My Saltwater Tank Of Nuisance Algae

July 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

  When I first started in the saltwater aquarium hobby I had a real tough time fighting nuisance algae.  Nuisance algae is easy to get and tough to get rid of.  It comes in a variety of greens, reds, and brown colors.  Once you get nuisance algae it usually spreads like wildfire.  As you can see in the picture above that my tank had a huge green hair algae problem.   So I searched for the best ways to fight and cure nuisance algae in my reef aquarium.

 If you are having a problem with nuisance algae I wrote a list of 15 things you can do to fight nuisance algae.  If you follow this list in time you will find that your algae problems will disappear. 

 Here is a recent reef picture of my 46 gallon bowfront.  As you can see my tank is now virtually algae free.

    You have a beautiful tank…You must have a lot of patience to do all that work. It does look to be worth it though.
