    I have a mild algae problem and after trying algaecide and bale extract the problem remains. Pond contains approximately 550 gallons of water,it has an adequate pump to circulate the water through a waterfall (which i shut off before pouring the oxygen peroxide) a biological filter, 4 small koi, 4 goldfish and a few water plants (planning to add more). I suspect the small pieces of moss I used to cover the liner that have fallen into the water are supplying nutrients for algae. I watched your video and used 3% normally found at pharmacy at the rate just below the 1/2 cup per each 100 gallons and watched for about an hour but didn't see any bubbling nor improvements in water clarity. Just the other day I checked for nitrite, nitrate and ph levels and they all checked out.What's your take on my situation? Thanks

    Great video. I am having hair algae in 4 week old planted tank. I am having amano shrimps in that tank. My question is if I do black out and after 4 days I do a large water change then the shrimps may die of shock. So can I do only 20 percent water change so that if may not kill the shrimps in there.

    • @chrispowell6594

They're pretty active and I have never seen her fight. I got tons of tiny phoenix moss and she doesnt touch any of them. I used to ignore them in the store but now I love them. I bought a Golden Barb to see if it did the same but no so to my experience only glass barb work.

    The fire extinguisher will deliver liquid CO2 into the regulator, which isn't ideal (and could cause it to freeze). Admittedly your flow rates are likely very low, so this may be less of an issue than with other CO2 applications (like Sodastream etc..), but your safest bet would be to mount the extinguisher upside down.

    • @chrispowell6594
      @chrispowell6594 2 роки тому

      Thanks for the comment Peter, it's a widely used method and like you state the low flow rate probably prevent damage to the regulator. I would only use the correct way up as upside-down would require some kind of stand 😀
