Availability of Algexit

How about API ALGAEFIX? any one use it before?

API had good review by Tom Barr in the past, me never use it honestly. I remembered it may cause casualties to shrimps, for greedy dosage.

I tried for a week using the recommended dosage and no visible effect. You will see fishes gasping for air right after dosing same as Algae Remover. However, I am unsure if its just specifically to kubotai as my chocolate gourami doesn't seem visibly affected.

I had good results with Algae Remover in my previous tank,but this time round it did nothing to my 2ft. Even after the 4 days blackout and upping the co2 and all other parameters are zero and nitrate inbetween 1st and 2nd color bar of API tester. Started to manually removing it and continue using Algae Remover for another week or two to see if there are any significant results.

Gouramis have a labyrinth system that allows them to take in air directly from the surface. Hence any oxygen deficiency in the water will not affect it. Perhaps you could increase water flow and switch off the co2 after dosing and see if that helps.

Yah, I dose of when co2 is off and with the outlet pipe above the water and an air stone running

I do not have time to do 50% water change everyday lol but i did do 50% water change twice a week. The algae is slowing down. Just not completely wiped out and that bothers me

I got mine from Superstar Aquarium, but it's all the way in the east side. I think it's not that effective for filamentous algae. Like I've stated many times here, red nose shrimp works the best for me. Recently had an outbreak of hair algae on my 1ft (dosing using the EI method without realising CO2 solenoid not plugged in), so bought 6 red nose shrimps & the amount of hair algae decreased tremendously overnight.

AQ members will tell you that the best method is to not use these chemicals & even though I agree with this, sometimes when you see unsightly things in your tank, you're bound to add chemicals. Which is fine by me, but ultimately, there is an imbalance you need to find after the issue clears.

I guess some of us are still looking for the easy way out. Putting in a clean-up crew is not feasible for some of us as our tank is still cycling!

[Phillipians]

Anyone going superstars aquarium ? Can tompang ? Haha... my hair algae is dying down. After some experimentation i realise i was dosing a little too much....

[inrewind]

you can PM me for Jackie's (owner of Superstar Aquarium) number if you want to check if he has any stock.

[Donut the Donkey]

To OP Mr Phillipians, I went to Superstar today, all the way to the east, as recommended by bro 'inrewind' above (thank you!), and thankfully managed to get the Algexit. They have two 250ml bottles left after I bought mine. Don't think he'll be ordering anytime soon though as he says he's out of stock after this.

Best you make a trip there soon. Owner of the shop was very friendly. Unless you're willing to wait for C328's stock, which I no longer can.

Regards,
Donut

Anyone try calling Nanyang seaview to check for stocks? i got mine there. I will say excel has strong algae killing abilities than algaexit. i have try it to fight BBA with algaexit, seems to slow it down but does not eliminate it. maybe i am not using it correctly. i guess BBA has more patience than me. i gave up dosing and started growing bba instead.
i think solving the underlying problem is more important.

[Phillipians]

Well my thread/hair algae is dying off. maybe not having stocks is a blessing in disguise. I use a combination of water change and spot dosing of excel plus less ferts more co2. Maybe it was just overdosing of ferts as inam doing EI method without sufficient water change. Now just left with some remnants of algae. 90% wiped out already.

[freezze]

just pop by superstar this afternoon. left only 1 bottle of AlgExit 250ml.

[AQMS]

I bought the last one...no more left..

[Phillipians]

Lol.. anyway i talked to aquatic avenue owner and asked him if he could bring in stock too. Told him many forumers are looking for it. I will definitely buy one even though my algae problems are gone. You never know when it comes back

[AQMS]
