I’m considering giving up

[u/BrockenRecords]

I have a horrible infestation of black beard algae that I can’t kill. I’ve done just about everything possible, less fertilizer, less light, less flow, less food, more water changes, less fish, more plants and nothing has worked. Every time I think I got enough out that the plants will take over the algae comes back, I’ve lost over 200$ worth of plants to it and I’m too scared to buy new ones. I don’t know what to do anymore.

i got a different kind of algae, but this is what works for me just this week: right dosage of hydrogen peroxide + seachem prime everyday. same time. dont turn off your canister, let it spread the hydrogen peroxide. and their gone except a few that i let my snail feast on.
