| What is the best way to get rid of it in my tank I cannot move the tank, no where else for it to go, it is not in direct sunlight but it still needing cleaning all the time or the glass would be full  |

| i have exactly the same problem sange.... we thought it was becasue the tank was by the window! we had no where else to put it.... until last week we changed the whole living room around so the tank could be moved, and today i have noticed that the tank needed cleaning AGAIN..... ive done the glass today,and taken a few plants out and fised some poop out, but the filter needs taking out and scrubbing...its a nightmare, and its no where the window or a radiator now!!!
i think i am going to get a couple of little algae eaters this weekend, see if that helps!!! _________________  ~The dog is a gentleman! I hope to go to his heaven, not man's~ |
