Hair algae is very bad for babies ranchu.You might lost the hold set if that type of algae appear.
Just leave it's natural grow.

Hi kuroko,
Thanks for the advice but I got to do something because my setup get very limited sunlight....so the algae growth are very slow (not "natural").
What P'Palak experienced show that the hormone can boost up the algae growth, but need to use it correctly and timely. From my experience hairy algae is the first to grow in clear water, but its not dangerous to the ranchu. Only thing is that it useless to them becoz they cannot feed on it.
I think if we can put in the hormone plus some seed of the green carpet algae, set in new tub, also take away the hairy algea if it come out; this will boost up the carpet algae.
BTW I will only use it in spare tank, not with the fishes with/in the hormone...afraid it will have side effect.
MH lighting is not economic...so as alternative solution I will try this hormone way. If it work, then we all can benefit from it.
Cheers,
