Ive had big problems with algea of all descriptions (including BGA) since i set my tank up. But because this is really only a temporary set up until we have an alcove knocked into the tank, i probably haven't given the tank and plants the attention i should've.
I blacked the tank out for 3 days and added a second external filter to improve water flow and circulation. However, i still have problems with small amounts of hair algea on the plants.
So, having used them before in the past, i added a pair of rosy barbs to the tank. Ok so they're not on everyone's "must keep" list but they have stripped my plants of all algea in 3 days.
You can either keep them in there or pass them on to another hobbiest if you don't want them after they've done their job.
