unfortunately SAE not 100% eating brush algae, it depend on your luck. They don't eat shrimp but will eat the shrimp food. Do you inject CO2?
Hi all,
A month ago, I setup a nano tank, filled only with yamatos, cherry shrimps, wood shrimp and oto. However, recently, I noticed there are some brush algae grow on my driftwood. I would like to know whether I can put SAEs into the tank to eliminate the algae without endangering my shrimps and shrimplets.

I've not put in a CO2 system yet. I will get the system in next few days. Will the CO2 injection will decrease the brush algae ?
well not exactly. Once algae start to taking place, the savest way to remove it is by trimming/scrapping. You need to share your setup info such as light, fertelizer dossing, tank size, CO2. Algae taking place because there is inbalance in your system. lack CO2 is one of them.
Your driftwood seems to be moveable, so you can actually take it out from the tank and use H2O2 to kill the algae.
My tank size is 25cm x 30cm x 40cm.
No fertiliser dosing.
No CO2 injection
Light is 22W (4500K pertube)
sparingly planted tank with no co2 and high light sure have algae problems
I will purchase a CO2 system this week. Will the CO2 injection will control the growth of the algae?
How many bubbles to be released I need to set?
noticed that i highlighted "sparingly planted tank with no co2", even if you have only a co2 unit, your tank will still be imbalance.
ok. will try to play around with the CO2 system first. then going into fertiliser thingy
