Hey J, Hope you and your family are safe. Any tips to get rid off snails. Im about to lose it with this snails.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

too many snails usually come from too much food wastes. Feed your fish less and clean uneaten food afterwards. Also removing snails manually is best in my opinion. Simply do it every day and you will reduce the amount significantly!

Tried and works in just 24 hours... 😁My algae are already dying...But how do you remove that dead algae 🤔.... They are still sticking to plants...

[@PsyWARAquariums]

QUESTION: Shouldn't adding more fertilizer help feed the algae? I come from the saltwater hobby and to many nutrients feeds age not helps get rid of it. I have the same problem in my 40g freshwater planted tank. tia

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Usually lack of nutrient A is causing excess of Nutrient B and excess of Nutrient B is causing algae. You can fight Nutrient B or you can add more Nutrient A and bring nutrients in balance and make your plants happy. Happy plants will outcompete algae

[@dark_scorpion6072]

Another pro tip! Thanks. Does Excell do the same and is there any problem on using in a shrimp only tank? (Caridina)

[@uraninite8151]

You should get an old tank and purposely create algae types and make a video on how to remove each type.Also you can try create a specific type as to see what causes that. it would be quite interesting.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

I’ve been thinking about it! Or to have a twinscape and make comparisons

[@uraninite8151]

Jurijs Jutjajevs Aquaowner I think did a twinscape ,that would also be interesting. Maybe compare fertilizers not many people have compared the different brands/varieties.

Jurijs, how do you recondition your RO water? Is there a good all in one additive?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Important: EC shouldn’t be used on moss this way. Moss will die just like the algae! On the other hand, if you want to get rid of moss on hardscape because it was not supposed to grow there, this method will also work 😊.

[@gbaquascaping63]

Hi Juris! , Staghorn algae is a total mistery for me. But in my technique is , for some reason 🤷‍♂️ , normal during 2nd month, then, dissapears alone at the 3rd month and never back. And yes, glutaraldehide based products (and h2o2) kill the staghorn. But if you ignore the staghorn and continue the normal routines, dissapears alone 🤷‍♂️ . Last years i do that: simply ignores him. Saludos from Chile 👋

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Hmm 🤔 I will test one day .. difficult to explain customer “do nothing, it will eventually go away” 🤣

[@gbaquascaping63]

Jurijs Jutjajevs jajajaj" there is a guy in chile that says is normal" .

[@gbaquascaping63]

In internet and forums all says that staghorn happens by "low co2, much Fe or PO4" but in my experience (and opinion) is not true because i maintain 30ppm co2, and measured plant nutrient consumption (i do test of po4 , no3, fe before add nutrients twice for week) for every tank , and you might have zero values and still develop staghorn. So 🤷‍♂️...in fact zero values is worst for plants and better for algae ...Well, i keep normal routine, mechanical removal and continue add nutrients in exact dosis according plant consumption... and the staghorn dissapears in 1 or 1.5 month ☺️ . Saludos!

Yes h2o2 works great too

[@dlaqua2535]

Using syringe is the best, but i'm using seachem excel to get rid of algae. The same way to dose tropica fertilzer i also use syringe

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Excel and easycarbo is the same

[@pilot_arne7620]

in what time should you see a difference that the algae is dying? And can you do this every day until algae diminish or disappear?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

after 2-3 days you should see red color. In the video you can see some red from 1 week before dosing. I have used 1-2 times per week over 3 weeks until it was all gone

[@davidpung851]

Hi, Jurijs thank you for the great tips. But do liquid carbon really kill shrimps if I dose within the recommended dosage? Because I have lots of shrimps inside, had bought the product for weeks, still thinking how to use it safely. Haha...

with correct dosing you can see algae turn red after 24-48 hours

I literally put the plant in pure easy carbo over night and this was like 3 days ago. My staghorn algae is unkillable. I put it back and raised my co2 up and hope it will go away eventually

Hey Jurijs just a silly question, i have purchase a new series of ADA nitrogen and the colour of fertilizer is green, as per my knowledge Neutral K has green colour and Nitrogen has a Blue Colour fertilizer. Is it the New one comes with the green colour.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

please have a look on official ADA webpage for original color of the liquid. Also make sure the bottle shape is the same - square bottle indicates its the new series

[@karanjailwal]

I have Square bottle shape so i think its a new series. Even in new series it shows me blue colour only. I dont know how to check the genuinity of the product.

It is not at all true that EasyCarbo says that it ist CO2 from the bottle. They just say that it is an alternative to CO2.

[@ashleyavellaneda5892]

How often did you spot dose the staghorn? Pls hope you notice! Thankyou

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

usually after few treatments its gone for a long time. repeat when it comes back. but if it keeps coming back you have to cure the root of the problem. too little co2, too much dirt in the tank or filter etc ..

[@edwardoid]

Interesting. Seachem Flourish Excel is based on Glutaraldehyde(C5H8O2), and it works perfectly against any type of algae if you overdose 3-5 times. Just perfect. And you do not need to mix with air. But there is no C5H8O2 EasyCarbo(at least it smells differently), and there no information about ingredients in EasyCarbo, but you say it works fine... I'm very surprised. Could you please take a few more videos to show the results you get on Easy Carbo? Thanks in advance! And one important note you did not mention. Overdose of any liquid CO2 brings us to pH level changes! You should be careful with that!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

I haven’t looked that much into chemicals, both products are based on Glutaraldehyde, that I know for sure and smell is similar imo. However, you are absolutely right both have other affects too and I have stated some in the description

[@edwardoid]

​@@JurijsJutjajevs sorry, I skipped info in the description. Are you sure EC is based on Glutaraldehyde? Because for me it smells different... BTW have you tried Cidex OPA by Jonson & Jonson? Have you ever seen it stores here in Germany?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Edward Sarkisyan im sure EC is glutaraldehyde. I haven seen other brand products similar but not the one you mentioned

[@edwardoid]

@@JurijsJutjajevs BTW, as a professional I'm sure you use(or used) peroxide against some types of algae(thread algae for example). Don't you? I think it will be one topic for one of the next pro tips?) BTW. I think you also are familiar with fighting against(or example thread) algae by completely shadowing aquarium when you turn off lights and cover aquarium to have complete darkness inside. Shadowing for 3 days completely and 100% kills many algae. The only side effect is that plants grow much faster and trying to become much higher. I usually cover an aquarium for 48 hours and it helps. And 3% peroxide helps to give enough oxygen to fish and inverts while there is no light and photosynthesis is stopped. Because when you add Peroxide in water (H2O2) to water (H2O) it dissolves in water to H2O(water) and Oxygen(O2). I'm sure you know this, I'm just trying to share ideas for next pro tips.

[@edwardoid]

@@JurijsJutjajevs Also I always wanted to ask you how do you fight against green spots on stones? It's quite hard to keep stones clean especially when you can't take off stones. How do you deal with it? Using toothbrush(even electronic) is very hard especially because stones are not flat. Any suggestions from professional aquascaper and tank maintainer? Danke!

Quick test: then off filter, take 2ml easy cargo in a syringe and slowly inject on a single spot of algae, observe over the next days. It will turn red and die. In the aquarium showed in the video I have overdosed 5x the recommend amount several times, now it’s all gone

@@JurijsJutjajevs hahaha I have tryied everything as I sayd I'm not trying to be rude. What I do is 2 timese a mone h2o2 treatment on top of the seachem carbon. The reason why spot treating does not work in my case is because there is no single spot it is everywhere :D Anyway I can share a my story how I got rid of it forever in previous tanks I had. I mean I had it and it went away on its own slowly. No h2o2 or carbon treatments nothing. One way was deep substrate layer 8cm at it's thinnest the other way was with plenum. Both tanks were walstad method which I gradually after the algae were gone (6 months) turned into co2 ones with dosing. Hope it helps :)
