how many day/weeks/months can you put shrimp in a tank after use of this product without it killing them (I have a 20 gallon tank)
- I'm not sure about shrimp, but I have killed about 40 total goldfish capacity, two times in my pond, by miscalculation on the dosage. Be very careful!

I just overdosed my 30 gal tank with 3 TSP of algae remover instead of 3 ml- anything to do to save my cichlids besides SERIOUS water change?
- Hi there! A water change is best and making sure you have an air stone or other sources of aeration is beneficial.

I have a 150 gallon tank I’m started to notice green on my glass will this work on cleaning the glass and what can I do different to stop it from happening
- Hi there! Yes, this should help. Additionally, you may be having your lights on for too long. Aquariums containing live plants should receive 10-12 hours of high-quality light per day. Tanks with artificial décor only need 5 to 8 hours per day. If you're providing more light than you should be, it can cause unwanted algae growth in the aquarium. We'd be more than happy to look into this further for you and assist you. Please feel welcome to contact us directly at 1-888-255-4527.

I have a 5 gallon glow tank and keep getting pinkish red algae slime what would you recommend me do about it last thing I tried to kill my daughter's glowfish
- I suggest you contact the company. I have a 100 gal freshwater tank of Cichlids and it works well without affecting my fish. Good Luck.

How to get remove all planaria worms (crawling our aquarium glass in a tiny size )from freshwater tank ?
Reds's aquarium is so very cloudy. Can't see turtle til she surfaces! Don't know what caused this or what to do. Ordered vacuum but it won't be here until Friday. Please Help. Put in stuff for ammonia.
Rust colored algae in both of my 10 gallon tanks after switching from gravel to sand substrate. What can I do?
I had put an aquatic plant in my fish tank because I was told he would like it and eat it, but now he has black marks all over his body. I searched and found that it is chemical burns from ammonia due to the plant. How can I help get rid of the marks on him??
Really Need your help! Our turtle tank is all cloudy. Changed water put alges a Really NEED YOUR help. Our turtle Aquarian is all cloudy. Can see the turtle even. Changed water and put in alges cleaner. But this is the 2nd time this has happened. It looks like it would disturb the turtle but seems ok. WHATS HAPPENING?
Why is my fish tank cloudy? How can I clear it up? I put some chemical in it but it didn't seem too effective. (Sorry my phones camera is really bad)
My new fish tank is being occupied by some white cotton web like thing at the bottom.. the are found on the natural plants and food remainings in the tank.. please help .. how to get rid of it? I tried changing the water 3 times..
I have a decoration in my tank with my goldfish I am starting to get worried about the fishes health since I started to notice a brown substance taking over the leaves of the fake tree decoration. I have tried washing it off but It won’t come off. Should I get rid of the decoration or should I let it be.
My blood parrot cichlid's tank is extremely cloudy. Whenever I clean his tank I usually put in some water clarifier and conditioner in, and normally this works just fine and the water is clear. However, I recently just got a 30-gallon tank. When adding the solutions again I adjusted all the measurements so that it would suit the tank. Instead of clearing up it just stayed the same. I checked all the levels of the tank, pH, etc. I don't know what to do
So since the last time I asked he started to show signs of fin rot and this morning I saw one thin white filament attached to his left fin. Doesn't appear to be attached to his body anywhere else but his one fin. He is in a 1 gal tank and I put a fungal treatment in his bowl. Was this the right way to go or should I simply keep with salt and pristine water
When I change the water in my fish tank, after I add the appropriate amount of conditioner, a white fuzz seems to appear on all the objects in my tank, aside from the fish. I’ve had the tank for over a year now and it happens on all the water changes. My fish seem to be unaffected (I have 4). What could potentially be happening?
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
