MANY THANKS KYLE
4 days for me.
I had the algea down from plague levels by physical removal and put the algone in to clean up and maintain while I am away.
The bubbles and brown fuzz are now at prev. 1 day levels after 4days.
Soooo the algone seems to help so far. When I get back in 2 weeks I should know how well it works. (Hail Mary full of.....)
One thing to note is that most resins (eg algone ) have a limited aborption ability so are better at ridding a tank of slow buildup,maintainence or in the final stages of clean-up IMHO.
Your hair algea definately sounds like it is getting phos. from somewhere...maybe residual from not using RO?Hopefully the source is removed when you swithched to RO and Kalk.
Sooo it may cost you a few packs at first. Kyle told me that 2weeks is usual algone life time, but has extended that to a month or more under lighter use.
Anyway it took over 3mths for me to rid my nano of hair algea (keep chin-up) usingwater changes and physical removal ....helped by whatever 3 hermits and a half doz.snails eat....algone should shorten the time???
PS it seems to help if you keep your alk up tooo
Good Luck
