I really don't know. But I covered the entire tank with paper, leaving only the top. I've done it before with my other silver aro that I sold. It did work, but I'm not so sure about it working this time. It will take some time before I notice any improvements. So at the moment, I'm just continuing to feed it floating sticks and doing regular water changes.
I love silver aros but DE really kills it for me. It just doesn't look natural.
sounds like a good way to treat DE but my tank is just way too big to cover up. i read on other forums to try a blinking light above the tank so i have that going on, took the red blinker light off my mountain bike ;p i think the DE on my guy may not be treatable anymore & i think i have too many bottom dwellers & he likes to keep an eye on them. he is my first aro, so maybe when i get another i'll keep him alone. cheers & happy fish keeping!

yeah, i read that they grow pretty fast & slow down once they get to around 20-24". i'm pretty sure that when mine gets that big he will make my 225gal tank look like a 55gal & i'll have to take out some of the rock decors to make more room. here's a snap shot of him, the tape measure is opened to 18".
