FAQs
How often should I use the Algae Pad?
Use the Algae Pad as needed to remove visible algae, typically on a weekly basis, or more frequently if needed.
How do I use the Stress Zyme solution?
Add the recommended dose of Stress Zyme during water changes, as directed on the label.
Can I use the Prevent Algae solution in a planted aquarium?
Yes, but be sure to follow the dosing instructions carefully and monitor the plants' reaction, as some plants may be sensitive.
What should I do if my aquarium has a lot of algae?
Scrub the algae with the Algae Pad, perform a water change, and add the recommended dose of Prevent Algae solution.
How do I clean the Algae Pad?
Rinse the Algae Pad thoroughly with clean water after each use. Do not use soap or detergents.
What is the shelf life of the solutions?
Check the product labels for the expiration dates. Properly stored solutions will last for a considerable amount of time.
Troubleshooting
Algae Pad not effectively removing algae.
Ensure you are applying sufficient but not excessive pressure and that the pad is clean. Stubborn algae may require multiple passes.
Cloudy water after using Stress Zyme.
This is normal initially as the solution works on consuming sludge. The water should clear within a day or two.
Persistent algae growth despite using Prevent Algae.
Check your aquarium lighting, water parameters, and ensure correct dosing of the Prevent Algae solution. Also, look for the source of nutrients that feed algae growth.
