brush algae taking over

[Jag1980]

I noticed some growing in my tank today, you could throw in a large amount of amano shrimp but I'm sure if the discus will eat them or not.

My Amano shrimp and SAE do not do anything with BBA, but the Nerite snails eat that up very well.

Don't throw the stuff away, a heavy dose or excel, or a bleach solution dip will get rid of all of the bba.

I do not see that happening with this situation.

Hydrogen peroxide works really well from what ive heard. Either apply it directly to the algae or just dose into tank. I have never had to use it for algae, so you would have to Google dosing instructions. I have seen a few videos on YouTube of hydrogen peroxide being used on algae on planted tanks.
