Dude I appreciate you sharing this video because I work hard to maintain my tanks and the BBA fight has been ongoing for years. Makes me feel like I’m not doing something right until I see videos like this and see that people such as yourself also struggle with algae control.

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Oh yeah, I struggle with all this stuff too. I enjoy learning as I work to beat things like BBA so happy to share my journey

[@jspinosa50]

Took me over a year to clear up algae

[@peadookie]

There’s hope for me yet!

[@hermosafish]

Fantastic work!

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Glad you think so!

[@imsteinrecording]

Thank you for the info!

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

You bet!

Amazing information. Many thanks.

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

And many thanks to you for supporting my little channel 😊

[@darrenderousse4804]

Very cool informative video Logan! I’ve used it before and it’s cool how it attacks the algae!

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

H2O2 is my favorite weapon in the algae wars by far!

[@aquabee3749]

Great Explanation 👍👍 Like the Video-Style: Short and informative👌

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Glad to hear you liked it!

[@Ani_zuzu]

Hey Logan, great video!. Btw, have you happen to watch any recent videos of Dennerle plants?. Because the voice behind their recent videos sounded exactly like you. 😂

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Ah yes, I’ve noticed that guy sounds very similar to me. The videos also have that same highly polished editing style. I’ve gotta hire that guy 😉

I've been dosing 1ml per gallon on a 75g and it's made a lot of difference in a week, is that the correct dosage? Thanks

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Don't exceed 1 ml per 3 gallons as a general rule, but with a large volume like that you'll probably be okay. Watch your plant and fish health and take things slow

[@emerg2470]

@@LoganRandoAquascaping yea I'm only doing 1ml per gallon since its a large tank and it really made a difference in less than a week. My plants were full of diatoms they looked as if they were dead, now they're back to normal.

[@kevinkarvas296]

What is your dosing recommendation? I have some algae in my tank and I would like to try this method out. Love the vid !!

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

I don't really pay attention to dosage since I'm spot treating problem spots with a 12 ml syringe in my 20 gal tank. I'll probably use three syringe fills per maintenance session in the 20 gallon and hit a bunch of spots. Usually 3-5 BBa spots get hit per syringe load. Be very careful in small tanks with overdosing. The general guide most people give is not to exceed 3mls of H202 per gallon of tank water when doing a big treatment

@@LoganRandoAquascaping Thank you for the help.🤙🏽

[@MrJohnblaine]

Thank you 🖤🖤🖤

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Any time!

[@marissaantonini8449]

Can you dip the plants in this? I’m upgrading tanks and trying to get rid of some algae before starting the new tank. If I can dip, how long should I keep the plant in the h2o2?

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

You can, but I find it's not very effective at sterilizing plants. If you're worried about spreading algae to a new tank, I would try the bleach dip method instead. Here's an article on how to do that: buceplant.com/blogs/aquascaping-guides-and-tips/how-to-perform-a-bleach-dip-for-aquarium-plants

[@howardhamlin8285]

What about water change after dosing? Turning off lights

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

No necessary for small dose spot treatment, but I usually do treatment in conjunction with my water changes and maintenance

WE WANT MORE.... WE WANT MORE.... WE WANT MORE.... Hey Logan amazing video as always 👌🏻🤯

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Glad you enjoyed it! Lots more to come 😊

[@gk9417]

Will it work on brown algae 🤷🏼‍♂️✌️🇨🇦

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

Yes it will

[@C2Different]

So this safe for your fish?

[@LoganRandoAquascaping]

When used as directed, absolutely.

[@ronsmith2817]

Of course it works, it has nitrogen in it. Plants and Nitrogen. Put a teaspoon in a gallon of water and water House plants. It’s also a teeth cleaner.
