How to remove green algae on aquatic grass leaves

Treatment method: 1. Snails.

Field snails and ornamental snails eat green algae, and they are the fastest at removing algae. The snails will climb on the walls of the tank or on the rocks, eating the green algae in the tank little by little.

2. Clams. If the fish tank is covered with sand or aquatic mud, you can throw a few clams, and it will sink to the bottom and live in the sand on its own. The clam acts as a filter that absorbs the water in the fish tank, and then filters it before releasing it, in the process the green algae and microorganisms in the water are eaten by the clams.

3. Tool shrimp.

The most common is the black-shelled shrimp.

Although the black shell shrimp has a strong ability to remove algae, it is ugly and black.

4. Elf fish.

with scavengers. The role of the elf fish is the same, the elf fish can also be used to remove algae, but it is relatively small and has ornamental value. Its mouth resembles a suction cup, which will attach itself to the walls of the fish tank and eat green algae.

However, elf fish are more expensive, and they need more than one, so the cost is relatively high.

Preparation tools: shrimp, moss rat, black mary, snail, light, water quality.

Cut the leaves. You can cut off the leaves of a large area of green algae, manually remove the tank wall, and change the water frequently, and the green algae can disappear, but this method has great drawbacks.

Test the water quality. Test whether the phosphate in the water is too high, if it is a problem with water quality, it is recommended to change the water as soon as possible to adjust the water quality. It's best to get into the habit of changing the water regularly. Generally, only one-third of the fish tank is changed when the water is changed.

Fish tank lights. Pay attention to whether it is because the light in the fish tank is not too bright, in the dim light, the photosynthesis of aquatic plants is low, but brown algae can, so in the case of bad light, it is easy to burst algae. After changing or turning up the light, the brown algae will naturally be suppressed because the aquatic plants are vigorous.

Use shrimp to remove algae.

Small shrimp is a cleaning expert in the fish tank, if there is more brown algae, you can put hundreds of them at a time, and the effect is remarkable. Black-shell shrimp are cheaper and easy to feed, so if only for algae removal, this type of shrimp is recommended. Other shrimp can be ornamentally fed and usually removed from algae.

Use algae-eating fish to remove algae.

Some fish specifically like to eat algae, such as moss rats, black Mary, etc., Thai flying foxes, whiptail fish, etc., some people say that guppies also have the habit of pecking brown algae, after the author's test, the effect is not good, and it is easy to damage aquatic plants.

Use snails to remove algae.

Some snails are natural enemies of algae, such as apple snails, golden apple snails, etc., and snails also like to eat some humus. However, if you propagate too much, it will harm other aquatic plants.

Artificial algae removal. Artificial algae removal is mainly for the fish tank wall, you can use cleaning brushes, magnetic brushes, etc., the author found that the effect of medical veils is also particularly good.

in the waterChlorellaThe removal methods are as follows: manual salvage, high-power water pump, and feedingAlgaeSmall fish, you can use the wave pump appropriately, and use the extension pipe of the pump.

1. Manual salvage

2. High-power water pump

The high-power water pump is used to directly suck out the bottom sand in the cylinder, and after this cleaning work is done, the rest can be solved by simple cleaning work. This cleaning method is simple and effective, and it can retain some of the bottom sand in the tank. It is used to observe the feces excreted by the fish and judge its physical health through the feces.

3. Raise small fish that eat algae

You can raise some small fish in the pond that specialize in eating green algae, which can also quickly remove green algae.

4. Wave pumps can be used appropriately

The use of a wave pump can absorb these impurities smoothly, but when using this equipment, a part of the aquatic plants should be put in the tank to prevent the suction from being too strong and the fish from being damaged. Aquatic plants not only purify the water, but also release oxygen for the fish to receive better oxygen. In adsorption, the force is smaller, and it is good to absorb some impurities.

5. Use the extension pipe of the pump

The extension tube of the water pump can be used to enter the fish tank to absorb impurities on the surface of the bottom sand. The method of use is very simple, in the extension of the change, you wrap some filter cotton, and then put this thing on the top of the bottom sand to absorb impurities. The effect of this method is obvious, some fine particles are sucked onto the filter and cleaned at once.

Some aquarists hate the green algae in the fish tank, and use a sponge to adsorb, which is particularly simple, and this method can easily remove the green algae and impurities. Friends who are novice to fish farming, you can give it a try.

1. Biodegradation technology can be used to treat phosphorus substances, treat nitrogen, remove odors and other methods to remove green algae in water.

2. Algae are mainly caused by excess nutrients in water. Most lakes and reservoirs are overloaded with nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter) due to slow water regeneration, which exceeds the water body's ability to purify itself while creating an environment for algae growth.

Biodegradable microorganisms consume these excess nutrients in cell clumps and outcompete algae, cutting off the algae's available nutrients**.

3. Excessive phosphorus has been considered to be the most important factor for the rapid growth of algae and aquatic weeds. Microorganisms, or bacteria, are very simple organisms with two basic functions: metabolism, eating, and reproduction. Bacteria need phosphorus for essential life functions.

Biodegradable bacteria consume phosphorus in their cell clumps, making them unavailable as nutrients for algae or aquatic weeds. Enzymes in biodegradation technology products act as biocatalysts.

4. Molecular nitrogen exists in the form of gas, constituting about 80% of the earth's atmospheric composition. In water, nitrogen is present in several forms: ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

Through what is commonly referred to as nitrification and denitrification, the biodegradation technology solution will break the complex form of nitrogen and turn it into molecular nitrogen, which exists as a gas. This nitrogen is removed from the water and spills to the surface of the water and leaves the aquatic environment.

5. The odor of most lakes and ponds is caused by the death of algae and the lack of oxygen in the water body to produce hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), sulfur, ammonia and other substances. Biodegradation technology contains selected bacteria that can quickly degrade dead algae and compete with outside hydrogen sulfide-producing bacteria, thereby removing odors caused by hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc.

Due to the abundant presence of sulfur in the sediment, the bacterial and enzyme formulations of biodegradation technology break the biological chain of sulfur in the sediment, making it impossible to survive. Biodegradation technology promotes the nitrogen cycle, increases the ratio of ammonia to nitrite, and reduces ammonia content.

1. Manual removal method: if it is lurking quietly in the early stage, there are fewer green algae, and it is attached to aquatic plants or glass walls. Use a toothbrush to gently brush off the green algae, if it is more stubborn, it is recommended to cut off some aquatic plants, and then replace the water in the tank, which needs to be done regularly.

2. Biological algae: Yunjian can specialize in raising some organisms that eat green algae, in the tank, you can not only carry out the self-digestion of green algae, this method is relatively simple, and the damage to aquatic plants is the lowest. Moss ratfish, river prawn, black shell shrimp, apple snail and other organisms can eliminate green algae and increase the ornamental nature of the aquatic weed tank.

3. Drug removal method: There are many drugs to remove green algae, but they are harmful to the organisms in the tank. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to use, if there is too much green algae, it is recommended to reduce the concentration of the drug before use, or directly replace the tank.

4. Regular water change: Regular water change in the aquatic plant tank can effectively reduce the growth of green algae in the tank. Generally, it needs to be replaced once a week or so. A water exchange is about 1 3. This will not cause damage to the creatures inside the tank.

5. Increase the filtration system and reduce the light: For the aquatic plant tank, increase the filtration system to reduce the breeding of green algae in the tank, so as to ensure the survival of the creatures in the tank. Reducing light and photosynthesis will also reduce the production of green algae, but it is also necessary to maintain a certain amount of light every day.

The texture of the green spot algae is very hard, and the common algae-eating fish are really limited in their effectiveness in removing the green spot algae. The creature that can effectively scrape off green spotted algae is none other than zebra snails.

The green algae that grows on the glass surface can also be removed by manual scraping, such as a blade or credit card. Take the macro.

The way to prevent green spotted algae is easy, pay attention to the concentration of phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide in the water. When A. viridis appears, consider using K2HPO4 or KH2Po4 to increase the concentration of phosphodebacic acid in the water, and when the phosphoric acid in the aquarium exceeds 1 ppm, A. viridis will no longer appear.

1. The reason for the growth of algae in the leaves of aquatic plants

Aquatic plants are aquatic plants that need to grow in water, and their leaf surfaces are prone to algae growth, which is due to the excess of nutrients in the water. The algae on the surface of the leaves of aquatic plants grow by obtaining nutrients from water. The death of some organisms, the concentration of nutrients, the effects of rainfall, etc., can lead to excessive concentrations of nutrients in the water body.

For example, in summer, when the temperature is high, the temperature of the water body will also rise, which will lead to insufficient oxygen content on the water surface, and the waste products and dead cells produced by microbial metabolism will also exacerbate the eutrophication of the water body. Torrential rains and runoff are another cause, where soils are washed into waterways, where they carry large amounts of nutrients into the water bodies. These nutrients can be utilized by plants and algae in the water.

These phenomena are more common in waters where human or human intervention is made.

2. The effect of algae on aquatic weeds

When a large number of algae grow on the surface of aquatic plants, these algae will crowd out the living space of aquatic plants, making it difficult for aquatic grass leaves to obtain sufficient light and carbon dioxide. This makes it difficult for aquatic plants to photosynthesize and respirate, so they do not get enough nutrients and energy. In addition, long-term obstruction of light and lack of oxygen can also lead to root damage of aquatic plants, affecting growth and development.

At the same time, algae can also affect the transparency of the water, making the water turbid and inhibiting the growth of aquatic weeds. Therefore, for water conservation and ecological restoration, it is essential to prevent large amounts of algae from growing in the leaves of aquatic plants.

3. How to solve it effectively

First and foremost, proper water quality adjustment is key. It is necessary to reduce the growth of algae by improving the flow of water and alleviating the problem of excess nutrients. High concentrations of pollutants and water with high levels of ammonia nitrogen can accelerate eutrophication and algae growth in water bodies.

Therefore, proper regulation of nutrient distribution and transport can effectively control the growth of algae.

In addition, bioremediation technology can also be used to add some beneficial microorganisms or biological enzymes to the water body to expand the nutrient uptake of plants, so that algae cannot grow and reduce the degree of eutrophication in the water. It can also purify nutrients before they flow into the water body, and use trapped purifiers such as ecological organic acids to intercept nutrients from entering the water body.

4. Conclusion

Aquatic weeds are the ecological basis of water and the natural regulator and optimizer of water bodies. Healthy grass growth and algae control are important. Maintaining the ecological balance of the water body and the harmonious water ecological environment will benefit the entire ecosystem, so that it can obtain higher ecological benefits.
