Dr. Tank #5 Algae Remover & Prevention - Controls Green, Brown, and Blue-Green Algae - Freshwater Aquarium Algae Control - 100 Tablets
Dr. Tank #5 Algae Remover & Prevention is an effective, dual-action treatment for managing and preventing green, brown, and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in freshwater aquariums. Formulated to tackle stubborn algae types, including green spot algae, green brush algae, and hair algae, this product helps maintain a clean and balanced aquatic environment.
Safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and most live plants, this formula provides effective algae control while protecting your aquatic inhabitants. Sensitive plant species, including Micranthemum sp. "Monte Carlo," Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba,' and Hemianthus micranthemoides, may require extra care, so a partial water change after application is recommended.
