The brown hairy algae in my tank has been ****ing me off for weeks, so I decided to do a small water change (10%) with some Reverse Osmosis water I bought at a local water store for $3.50 per big blue jug (5 gallons).

Within a few hours the brown crap was disappearing. By morning it was virtually gone. Another water change the next day completely eliminated it.

Sure glad I finally listened to all the advice on water quality...the tank looks great.

What kinds of things do I need to add to the water now that I am using the very clean (stripped) water?

Thanks!!
