There’s many different kinds of nuisance algae that can cause problems in the reef aquarium and矮胖根据您的观点,可以是最糟糕的之一,也可以是“最好的”之一。不会吃鱼或无脊椎动物食草动物矮胖因此,它不会自行消失,但是有一种简单的治疗方法可以轻松从礁石坦克中消除它。
Long before fluconazole was discovered as a treatment for矮胖, old school reefers once turned to Kent Marine’s Tech-M magnesium supplement which had a unique formulation that happens to kill矮胖algae. Brightwell Aquatics has resurrected this special magnesium supplement now namedhydrat-mg和invited us to test this new additive.
It just so happened that I had a small patch of矮胖developing in my current reef aquarium and figured it’d be a good chance to document whether Hydrat-MG works as well as the old stuff. The 60 gallon tank consumes a fair share of Magnesium so I generally dose it with 20 ml of magnesium supplement everyday.
It only took 10 days to see a big turnaround in the health and growth of the algae, so 200 ml of the Hydrat-MG for a 70 gallon system (including 10 gallons in the sump). At the start of the treatment magnesium level was around 1,350 ppm and now 25 days later the concentration is 1,500 ppm. Four weeks after the start of the treatment and about 500ml total, I haven’t physically touched the algae yet the矮胖is virtually gone and has stopped spreading.
If you’ve got any problems with unwanted algae get a firm ID on what kind it is first. If it turns out that you have unwanted矮胖在你的坦克你可能当我们ll kill two birds with one stone and use Hydrat-MG as your magnesium supplement. Hydrat-MG has clearly succeeded in replicating the effectiveness of Tech-M in both increasing magnesium levels和killing this unwanted algae species. [Brightwell Aquatics]
