The cure for Green Dust Algae (Akistrodesmus) infestations
Posted by diligo on June 17, 2009
Well, after months of battling cloudiness in my planted tank…I reckon this could be the answer…well, the solution is..’believe it or not’..leave the tank alone for 10 to 20 days.
Tom Barr actually commented on this.
Then, another guy also commented on his success following Tom’s method.

Initially, I thought it was the ADA sand that caused the cloudiness, I tried stuff like seachem purigen, bamboo charcoal, to a certain extent my tank clear up significantly but there’s always algae haze growing on the glass of the tank and strangely, the tank water is never clear seems like there’s a lot of white particles, especially after hours of photosynthesis.
Well, will be measuring nitrates, phosphates levels in the tank tonight and see what happens 20 days time. Wish me luck.
