Temp and Algae

Raiderwig · 05/11/2006, 11:16 PM

Hello all,

If you run your tank cooler ( 25c) compared to (28c) does green hair algae thrive at a higher temp or lower?
Or is there no difference at all?
Just curisous about the temp factor.

It will form at both temps, to completly stop it you have to find out what is causing it.
Overfeeding, not doing water changes on time, using tap water, High Phosphates will all bring algae problems.
