Hi Ruslan
You are right Seachem product are very hard to find. Before I started this hobby I went to a lot of Fishshop in Penang to look for this item and none of them sell Seachem.
After I started my hobby for 2 mths then only I manage to find one and the only one fishshop in Penang selling the full range of Seachem product as well as Kent fertilizer.

By the way the fishshop is the distributor of Seachem prodcut for the whole Malaysia. According to the taukeh they distribute to KL as well.

By the way is the product good?
FYI I just started to use the product for 1 week.

So far the Seachem stuff that I've seen in KL are for marine use. If you go to the shop, please ask the taukeh which shops in KL carry the Seachem plant ferts.

No problem.

I think my tank is the new victim now
I found out that my glosso being infected and so of the riccia too(but seems riccia survive better then glosso as the hair is shorter)... I have retie 60% of my riccia last friday. Hopefully the new grawn will be free for this hairy monster.
Now I have manually remove the badly infected glosso... those lightly infected one is yet to be removed.



Beside manually removing them, is there any other easier way?
I have 2 SAE in my tank but seems they are not interested in this dracula hair. I have a garra flavatra too some weeks back but she jumped out and die.

Too bad of my tank. Last time is the ich problem with my crown loaches(fully recovered after the salt medication for 2 weeks).. now is the hair algae...

95% of my glosso die off due to this hairy monster.....
The rest are rotting too.....

Hi! This is my 1st time in this forum. I have read all about the algae problems from most of you, but I found that no one really concern about the 'Potassium' and I had just overcome the algae problems. When our tank contain too much nutrients, means the algae will growing fast from beyond our control. The 2 ways that I am using now are, add more Potassium into the water & put more Yamato shrimp (but currently I have only 7 Yamato shrimps, still looking for more. Estimated 100litres tank need 40~50 of it to do the jobs.)
I think JBL & Tetra fertilizer has just a little Potassium inside, but the plant really needs more than that for photosynthesis.

Yes. I do read an article. Said adding Potassium - K2SO4 and increase the aeration will help to remove the BGA. It is faster than using the KNO3. I got 25KG of K2SO4 lying at home...

but please do remember, plants do assorb the nutrient/fertilizer when there is no photosynthesis. Lighting and CO2 is the main source for plants to assorb for running the photosynthesis. That's why you have to dose the Potassium when you are turning off the lighting of yr aquarium.

Is that K2SO4 is in solid or liquid? I know that the K is in solid type, but how about the K2SO4? By the way, where can buy it, instead of getting the 'Big Brand' products.

K2SO4 is in the form of white granules, just like fine sugar. To get some, just ask those who have 25kg lying around at home...

Don't think you can get 'Big Brand' K2SO4 though. Most of the time you won't even know what their formulas contain.

Care to provide the link to the article about adding more potassium to help in the battle against algae? I would have thought that adding too much of anything and getting an imbalance would create problems of its own.
