Read somewhere that Qian Hu fish farm is marketing a solution that will totally eliminate Algae without the need for frequent water changes. Just wandering if any one have put it to test?. Reliable?

I don't know whether it is ok to link to another fish forum but there are quite a discussion on the product in this thread http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=473050 from Arofanatics. Seems like the chemical are causing fatalities, use with care.

I used it for 8 days cycle, and all my nerite snails stopped moving. So far only the female bettas have shown no reaction. Moss plants have started having brown patches but not sure if it is linked to this Algae killer.

I have the feeling that there is copper content in it and that is why your nerite snails stopped moving(most probably dead.).
Take one of the snail that had stopped moving and give it a sniff, if it smell pungent, it is dead.
The moss will most probably regenerate again when you stop the dope.

Yes all dead, confirmed. Tried on my second tank and all the mollies decide to go surface skimming. Didn't last long for them. So far Day 14 only bettas and the ottos having the luxury of the extra space.
