Those are great looking fish, Beau. Result of much blood, sweat, and tears.

Try hydrated lime for filamentous algae control. Ewest told me about the use of hydrated lime over a year ago, and we use it all the time.

It is messy but will improve water quality as well. Just spread it on algae mats at a rate of about 50 lbs per 1000 sq ft of filamentous algae. Wear eye protection and a dust mask, and use the wind if possible to keep the dust from blowing back to you.


It's ALL about the fish!
