how can i get green alage out of my tank?

Answer 1

Depending on what sort of set up you have and how many fish your have, catfish and snails work wonders on keeping your tank clean. magnet cleaners also help to remove the algae from the glass of the fish tank

Hope that's helped

Answer 2

There are some wonderful suggestions here, I would at least perhaps consider all the ones that say do it naturally, with a fish or snail, it may take a bit longer, but it works and if far healthier for your fish then cleaning it. Depending on how old your tank is, cleaning a new tank
lead to some serious problems, and start the cycle process over again,Fustrating for you and the fish!
One trick we use in the industry is simply
turning off the lights for a few days. Remember, algae are a plant and if green are good, but it’s ugly and annoying, so being it’s a plant it needs light to grow. Cut off its source and it will stop growing. This process may tank two or three days as well depending on how bad the growth is. Also stir the gravel daily will help as it releases, excess waste and other build up.
Whatever you do, stay away from those harsh chemicals. Go natural with the removal process, Check to see if your tank is getting direct sunlight (like is it in a window, because if it is, your problem can also overwhelming natural sunlight makes it worse)
Like I said, green good other colors of it bad: Red or brown.
Here are some fish depending on what you already have in your tank (choose wisely), that will help out in this process.
Livebearers (live birthing tropical/brackish, depending on how they are first keep in the store)
Tetras (tropical)
Catfish (tropical)
Goldfish (coldwater)
All of these need extra green in their required diet, so they will munch the stuff right up, but it will take time.

Answer 3

Wash with soapy water then use a plastic scourer as this wont scratch the tank and use salt to remove the alage but make sure you rinse the tank out before putting the fish back a little salt wont harm them but alot will good luck

Answer 4

Add an Ancistrus bristle nose. These don't get as big as plecos and look cute too. Using elbow grease is neccesary for some algae like the hard "spot" algae which is hard to scrape. A metal edge is best for this. "Smudge" algae is easily wiped off with sponges but it will be eaten anyway if you have an algae eater.
If you have hair algae, a SAE or three will help. These do not stick to glass though.

Answer 5

Although they sell water additives that can help curb algae, your best bet would be to add a plecostamus or an algae eater. Both of these fish do a great job of eating up green algae! And it's more fun to let a fish clean the tank rather than to do it yourself.
