ALGAE It’s an everlasting question how to get rid of them. Since every aquarium is different there is no exact answer. It can have thousand causes but it’s sure it indicates a problem in your tank. In the beginning I was messing a lot with the algae and to be honest with you it can still be a problem.
I neglected this tank recently I wasn’t looking after it. I was suffering from algae for a longer while and even this video haven’t been about to be made, because I wanted to take it apart. But eventually I figured out how to give you some useful tips based o what happened.
I’m hundred percent sure this video won’t solve all of your problems with algae but I hope you will find some useful tips and gather some motivation for the fight.
Don’t need to be afraid of algae and you shouldn’t be pissed too. Just assume it as a challenge. So good luck guys, algae can not win!
H2O2 video and info: • My life is a BATTLEFIE...
Be gentle with this chemical and make sure no children can reach it. You mustn’t overdose, it’s very important! Use 3% tincture with a dosage of 1 ml H2O2 to 1L net. aquarium water. You can use it directly or just simply pour it into the tank. It’s up to you.
Normally it doesn’t hurt the flora and fauna but a couple (more sensitive) shrimps can fall.
It can hurt the bacteria partially, but it won’t cause any trouble! After half day of this treatment, you should change at least the half of the aquarium water. If you had more algaes the water can be troubled what also means you should do a water change.
If you have mosses, you want to remove them before using the H2O2, because they can be burnt easily.

This quality is insane, you have to film a movie !
Thanks! :)
@@TheCineScaper yes. just add snail next time :)
That was the most epic aquarium video I've ever seen
Dude congrats on the victory!
This vid looks as epic as avengers endgame, final battle scene vs thanos!
Thanks 🤓🤩
I think many high tech led lights that sit close to the aquarium and are high powered are almost always way too intense at 100%. You should always start off at around 50% intensity and gradually increase that number until you start seeing algae. At that point you want to wind it back one notch.
I tried out 50% light intense, but didn't help me, as I wrote it in the video. I never use this lamp at 100% on this tank.
You can find calculators online for the amount of light needed. You can also use a app to see the amount of light you have in the tank
It’s better to get some cheap PAR meter or rent a decent one and do some measurements, before deciding if you have too much or too little light. But, yes, the safer approach is to start dimmer and then slowly increase day by day, observing the changes. I would not reduce the photo period though. All tropical plants and corals adapted to have ~11 hours of light per day. They can’t utilize products of photosynthesis fast enough if you give them very bright light for a short period. Better to distribute that energy more uniform in time for a longer period.
I can honestly say I did not expect to watch a guy clean his Fishtank and enjoy it as much as I did… Goes to show that with the right music and good camera quality even taken a shit would be epic and enjoyable to watch. 👍
Wow if i knew such a movie is waiting for me i do get a popcorn :) :) Great story and captures!
We really not in love with H2O2 caused more trouble than we win with it, but glad it worked out for you. Congrat to the new video! :)
Now i actually kinda regret not getting popcorns man
Thanks guys, I’m glad you like it. I’m not happy either I had to use h2o2 but I couldn’t manage to solve it another way. Luckily I’ve experienced no bad side.
I didn't experience any negative
@@shockadellick bacteria might have died because of H2O2, I experienced once, so I used Seachem Excel instead to fight algae..
It's so interesting seeing this perspective for me. How an aquascaper has a very contrasting idea of algae with me, a microbiology undergrad student cultivating marine algae for my thesis. One of my friend even did use peroxide (H2O2) too, but on purpose to stress out the algae just enough to not die, but still be able to produce higher metabolic products.

EPIC MUSIC FOR AN EPIC WAR!
I just sat down after removing some hardscape and boiling it to remove BBA that was on there. Turned it green - hoping it'll be eaten off by my amanos soon. Great video!
ALWAYS Hard to be First. Luck was with you this Time :)
I had a similar algae issue, 2 day blackout seems to have solve the problem without damaging the plants.
Nice video once again, and yes algae is a Nightmare for all of us. I have destroyed tank last month due to algae, as it was nano tank and wasn't being heavily planted . I considered Destroyed and resetting it again
PERFECT VIDEO showcasing your own experience! I have similar problem as many others and reducing the light, cutting the ferts dosage in half has a huge affect. Thanks for sharing the experience!
What a well-made video... I can feel the frustration, suspense, the climax and then the happy ending! Well done, CineScaper!
Simply amazing. Really liked the way the story was explained in layman terms and truly cinematic..thank you for the hard work..very informative.
Wow.. with your level of photography made the algae also look stunning. Great stuff man.
Thanks bud!
Woah, epic cinematography! Thanks for sharing the story and your steps.
Thanks!
bahaha i’ve been binge watching your vids they’re so good
Damn, you really go all out with the editing and filming this time! And that choice of music, absolute epicness. Bravo for winning against that aggressive algae, it really took control of the entire tank but you managed to get it sparkling again. (and I'm quite amazed how the plants actually survived that harsh of a H2O2 treatment!)
Thank you mate! :)
Great video!! Loved the pacing and music was used to perfection enhancing your story brilliantly! Great instruction too! You are a talented videographer!
In the next year THECINESCAPER is gonna be the most subscribed youtube channel about tanks and stuff!
Remember me!
Congratulations on your victory by the way bro..
It'll be tough to beat Foo the Flowerhorn!
Thank you, I hope this! :)
This is an impressive battle! Thanks for the great video!
Beautiful work, as usual! The step-by-step process you took to clean that tank up was interesting and helpful.
Thanks mate!
Epic, Fantastic, Cinematic 😍
Thanks a lot for the tips at the end. It answered a lot of questions :)
Omg the editing, the soundtrack... nicely done!
That was an epic battle 👍🌱
you inspire me! think i have watched every single video you made. All the way in brazil, I feel inspired to one day have a tank just a little close to what yours are!
great starting edit mate 👍
thanks!
Looks good now! Keep fighting that algae!!
Amazing video mate. Algae was always the nightmare of aquascapers. Have patience and never lose hope is the best weapon
Way cool vid mate, love the dramatic storyline and music, victory!🤘
Thanks!
the edition of video is amazing , and thank you very much for the knowledge. I think that will help me in the future ^^
Super results!
Was filter running while you were applying h2o2? (Was there any flow?)
I can see you did not spot treat.
Top quality, informative and entertaining at top level as always! Saw this video was posted and top spot on Reddit aqua ape this morning. You’re popularity just took an uptick
Aqua ape = Aquascape. Damn that auto spell
Thanks mate!
I was expecting, "Directed by: James Cameron" in the end lol, congrats dude and thanks for an epic video.
Thanks! :D
Good job friend. i didnt understand about co2. Do you use canister filter for co2?
Your vids are so sick bro
😎
Thank you so much for the helpful advice.
For 60×30×30cm tank what would you recomend 2 20watt t5 or 3 20watt t5
I like every thing in this tank, the color varietions, the look of wood and how it looked artistic also the emerged section
Your editing and choice of music was superb. It was so in sync with everything💚. Sorry about your algae issue though but glad you defeated it. Hope it doesn't come back. By the way, I was the one over on IG that said, "That would drive me nuts.". Now that I saw your video it would have drove me insane😁😯
Thank you for your kind words mate! 🙏
Good video skills, glad you got it figured out.
Do you keep your filter running, while putting the H2O2 in?
Nagyon jó és szép minőségű videókat csinálsz! Ne hagyd abba!
Köszi, igyekszem továbbra is minél többet feltölteni.
Superb editing. You sir deserve way more subs for such a quality and informative video 😍😍😍
Really awsm experience...it was like a movie..with ups and downs ... And a beautiful ending...efforts are really appreciated.. thank you
Such epicness. Amazing victory
Amazing cinematography. Loved it
🙏😉
Come at 3:09 I nearly found myself screaming to fight against algae, epic music never fails to deliver.
Legend never surrender!
Always love your vid btw
Thanks! 🤩
This video looks like a trailer. Love it !
Wow nice cinematic again! This style is really good and educational also.
Thank you for your feedback!
Few weeks from now qnd you'll hit a million viewerships and subs trust me. Your contents are so good and original
Will this work on black algae and will it affect my fish? I don’t a spare tank big enough for all of them.
Loveee the cinematography!
Excellent and informative video!
This history is insane!!! You are so determined 💪🏼 what is the name of your LedLight?
Very well made Cinematic Video. Inspiring and motivating. Thanks to you for providing this master craft
This movie had me hooked from the start! It has everything, the epic highs and lows of the story combined with a fabulous score and cinematography. I gave it 5 out of 5 youtubes! a must see!
Thank you mate! 🤩
Great masterpiece of a movie ..someone who shows algae and not alone the start..great music ..i would like to now the creator...look forward to next movie...thanks 👍👍
Amazing Work
🙏
Love the video and music so awesome bro thx....
Hi. Greetings from Argentina.
I have two questions, how many gallons does the tank have?
You said that you poured 50 ml 33%H2O2 in the tank. Is that percentage of H2O2 right?
Thank you very much
Sooper I loved it both videography and tank😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing video
U got a new subscribers , n keep making more videos!
Your videos are EPIC man 👍
Thanks!
Amazing comeback, gorgeous!
This video is GREAT ! Through the years of focusing on planted aquariums, i've had almost every algae one can get.....and even some unknows. With all the ups and downs i've come to the conclusion.... if you have a good bacterial set-up, chances are you'll have some kind of Algae. i don't use Co2, and i've stopped using the Excel-dee-hyde stuff, (not enough info on saftey.) One thing i've noticed is that once the plants have acclimated and are happily growing, the battle to eradicate any infestation is a whole lot easier. My main weapon has been H2O2 or for removable plants or cuttings, a mild chlorinated bath,(for the difficult agae.)
Has anyone tried a tank made entirely of those lab grown sterile plants ? ...Thank's for posting this !
Hello guys, what about the Chihiros doctor 3 ? You guys already test it ? Seems to be Good...
I got goosebumps,, thanks..
TheCineMaScaper
If m not mistake h2o2 also affects monte carlo,along with moss,doesn't it?
Awsome made video!
what a battle,congrats for did it,see ur patience there..anw why u didnt put any RCS or SAE there before the algae growth like that?
Fantastic video
Nice video man.
Molnar, great video, as always!
I love the color in this tank! I was wondering how much credit goes to your ONF light. How does it compare to a Chihiros?
Thanks! You can find ONF lights price on the www.onf.com.tw official site. ONF light is amazing but much more expensive than chihiros. Btw chihiros is a good budget light!
So if I have a 90L tank, I need to use 90ml?
felt like I just watched a long hard battle with titans LOL.
Great job! It was sooo goood
Hats off..u made it.👌
Hi there... How were you able to achieve nitrate limitation with tropica Specialized nutrition... Your pinnatifida and HRA are so red.. I'm envying it
EPIC! This is fantastic! I love the story you tell and the drama you create with this video. And, I’m really pleased your hard work paid off in the end! Just one question though-if you keep you filter running during this whole process, does such high doses of H2O2 not effect the bacteria in it? Did you leave if off at any point?
Cheers, mate! 👍🏼💚
Thanks! It effects the bacteria of course, but not as much as people think. It is because the bacteria in the filter forms a media called biofilm, that makes bacteria more hardy then if they was separately. If you switch off your filter, -in my opinion- is a bigger risk, because lack of oxigen kill many bacteria for sure. I dont know which thing kills more ( H2O2 vs. lack of oxigen), but in my experience with H2O2, maximum side effect was a little opalescent for couple days, and some sensivite plants was hurted a bit, nothing else. Shrimps, and some fish species can be sensivite too.
Eddig nem is tudtam hogy kis hazánkból jönnek ez a videók! De az algakaparo le buktatott :) gyönyörű szép munkák, le a kalappal. Fel is iratkoztam ;)
Látod-látod, kicsi a világ! Köszi szépen, üdv nálam! :)
Really nice story. Loved every bit of it. Can i ask a behind the scenes of the filmaking. how do you get rid of reflections? how do you set the aquarium for filming? would love to watch a behind the scenes video. keep them coming. love your work.
Thanks! I switch off all lamps in my room. Maybe a make a behind the scenes video later.
Let me guess you used tropica soil? I have the same filter too, and terrible algae issues. Maybe it’s in the bio media that it ships with? But my guess is tropica, because i used them in a completely new tub setup and it caused the same algae there too.
What is the amount of h2o2 in per liter of water
Love the drama in this edit. Your bloody good at your day job ;)
Thanks! 🤓
Wow! That was a VERY different video from you. Even the soundtrack is completely 'off cinescaper'... But then, so is the issue at hand! Nice to know that the 'perfect' aquascapers also struggle with the same problems as 'us common mortals'...
Thanks for sharing your problems and your solutions.
Thank you for your feedback!
Do you using h2o2 in the water or spot dosing the algae?
I’ m just pour it to the aquarium. You can use directly on alge.
damn! seems like i saw a movie about the epic algae battle. true Cinescaper style 😍
I love it youre editing video, do you use app video maker?
I use final cut pro x on mac.
Thanks for the encouragement. Fighting the same enemy now. 💪💪💪
Good luck mate!
dude I struggled against staghorn algar on my 2 weeks tank...most of them stick on pinnatifida and some stem plants..how to deal with them?
Staghorn is a very hard thing. H2o2 maybe or scissor. Carefully!
Great SIR.
You won because of your hard work 🖒🖒🤗😀😀
great video man....I have a question, noting that the height of that tank is so low, could not be the problem the amount of substratum used....normally in a highest tank you could have problems if you dont have enough CO2 to burst the plants to consume all the nutrients....In a tank like this you will need maybe even more CO2 to consume all that nutrients stored in the substratum
Thanks! You are right, the substrate contains nutrients, but not so much, since it's Amazonia Light, that means it has reduced nutrient amount. Also the highest nutrient stock is in the water, because I pour fertilizers daily.
Great Video. It's Dope.
Thank you!
Hey cinescaper,im worried about the bacteria colony in the external filter.Did you keep the external filter while dosing H2O2? Thanks
I didn’t switch off the filter. It effects the bacteria of course, but not as much as people think. It is because the bacteria in the filter forms a media called biofilm, that makes bacteria more hardy then if they was separately. If you switch off your filter, -in my opinion- is a bigger risk, because lack of oxigen kill many bacteria for sure. I dont know which thing kills more ( H2O2 vs. lack of oxigen), but in my experience with H2O2, maximum side effect was a little opalescent for couple days, and some sensivite plants was hurted a bit, nothing else. Shrimps, and some fish species can be sensivite too.
TheCineScaper thanks,appreciate it👍
Bravo!
What are those plants and moss growing emerse
Rotala hra, Ludwigia palustris, and maybe christmass moss
Wow... I culd watch this more often than anime... And i just subscribed!
welcome! ;)
I can recommend Söchting Mini Oxydator. Did the job for me. 😉
