Seriously? How much did you dose?

Seriously? How much did you dose?

It's 5ml dose for overnight, test water .. next day water change. It's 5ml x 4 for 4 2 footers.
But Nerites are also killed with No-Planaria...their easily killed with chemical.. nothing new...

Few of my RCS died the following day after dosing.
In fact I dosed 3ml for my 40cm cube (about 50L)..you guys might want to reduce your dosage for a start.
1st week into trying..no visible effect yet

It is getting confusing. So we are talking about excel or algaexit?

I dose 40ml for my 400l tank per week as per instruction on Algexit. Just dosed another 40ml on water changed last Sunday. My 2 horned nerite snails are still doing fine. Not sure about shrimps as mine are cheapo malayan shrimps, still see them around, even got casualty also eaten up by others. Good thing is there are no more BBA, my nana and moss are free of BBA now.

Also must thanks cbong for sharing this product with us. and also thanks to Excel for being out of stock!

For excel, I can only do spot treatment but another spot will have BBA pop up. Otherwise, have to dose daily which is very expensive to maintain my 400L tank!

Chtan23, that would mean your CO2 circulation may be the cause of the problem.

Two weeks in, I seem to have an explosion of hair algae on a piece of moss rock! Does it remove existing algae or just aglae pores in the water? Could it be a case of it gets worst before it gets better lol?

I still got mixed results bro.

Bba still there, no time to dig for hair algae thou.

The good is one of the tanks does have less algae on the microsword.

hmmmm, I did not take any. Essentially, the long java ferns had a good 20% BBA attached to the leaves and BGA were found on the moss and substrates. All gone now. Maintaining a once every two weeks regime treatment

Went Clementi to get my second bottle , seems different from the one I used to have ,.
The bottle is black in colour now .
Any idea anyone ?

[Urban Aquaria]

I've seen that black bottle version on the easy-life official website... maybe you got the newest and latest batch. What's the expiry date on your bottle?
