New Tank - How to stop algae?

[stormydax]

what is de sludging?

[StanChung]

Removing sludge. [sounded catchy-but more accurately removing detritus and mulm-unclogging filter ]

In addition, a filter flush like throw white mesh (mulm) and clear piping.

A slightly higher grade & expensive option: keep temp below 24/25 with airrcon /chiller. Look at Bioplast's fronting tank which is directly under the sunlight. Minumum algae as he really "chilled" his tank. Of course, coupled with all above

True. Chiller is magical. I was telling lorba the other day..

In addition, Mr Tan of Bioplast told me he changes water daily, max out Co2 and added a battalion of 'black shell' shrimps..

Will mass planting do the trick? Because I see some tanks full of plants everywhere, but still got algae
