    Try Ceratophyllum de0mersum aka hornwort. I think that's why quite a lotta folks are looking for this wonderplant.

    A few strands of hornwort plus a disciplined water fertilisation regime (i.e. fertilise much less than you did before), and BBA should say Byebye within 2-3 weeks. All without needing proprietary chemicals.

    Ask around, there are a few guys with plenty of hornwort to spare. Or at most, it's a buck or two for a bagful at Teo's farm.

    Sorry, must have misunderstooded the question. Azoo or hornwort can't help Bad Body Aroma much.

    I suggest you start taking a daily bath, if you are not already doing so. Invest in a strong aftershave, mouthwash, mints, deodorant and remember not to reuse your clothes after each day.

    Gerald,

    Most chemicals that kill algae also kills/stunts plants. I too recommend conventional method to conquer algae.
    Cheers!!

    chemical aint always the best way to deal with algae, and like what sherwin mentioned, it might harm yr plants in the process... like wise, some fishes r very sensitive to chemicals in the water..

    convectional way includes, more frequent water change, reduce feeding, deploy algae eaters (SAE, yamato for yr case).. siphoning debris on the gravel helps alot too, plant fast growers like what wks mentioned
