Any got experience of get rip of it safely.
Thanks advance for your advise.

Normally when one gets black hair algae, its caused by too little CO2 content with the amount of lights you have. Try increasing your CO2 amount to about 30-35mg/l, it will help a lot. Mechanical removal by hand is also needed together with 50% water change once a week, don't forget to fertilise, don't stop fertilising during an algae attack.

weekly water change is a must and very important to control the algae.

beside using Azoo BBA liquid. (which might harm to other plants). You just can't get rid of them unless manually remove it. They will grow on gravel, drift wood, rock, filter, filter media, even on the tank itself.

What i done was took out everything. wash it...(including gravel and filter). trim all the plants with BBA. Increase the lighting n co2.

if the plants left 4 leaves with BBA. cut off the 2 leaves with BBA. then left 2 leaves. let the new leaf coming out. then cut off another one.

Beside that, Yamato do help. But BBA growing faster than yamato cleaning it.

Well, whenever there is an algae outbreak, it means there is a nutrient imbalance in your tank. An algae can only grow on a plant which is not growing well, a plant which is not growing well is lack of something. It is that simple. There is no need to use any chemicals which kills algae(and also plants) at all. It could be too high lighting (CO2 deficiency), or lack of ferts (it could be NO3, PO3, or Micros, or lack of GH since we have soft water in kl/pj). These are basic guidelines for an algae attack. Do give us more info (kh, ph, gh, NO3, PO4) and your tank parameters if possible, then we can accurately diagnose what is lacking in your tank. But for any hair algae, high CO2 (30-35mg/l) will stop it from growing and make them soft gradually so your yamatoes and SAEs can eat them.

Dear Dom & Overdrive,

Thanks for the advise, think the cause of the problem is the insuficient of CO2, and I'll tackle it soonest possible.
