Hair alage question

[saturn13]

Are there any dips that are available for purchase or homemade that may help kill hair alage?

Unfortunately, the threads on here that attempt to answer that question are quite lengthy and sometimes conflicting. You might feel like a cat chasing its tail. But so that you don’t over-adjust your tank parameters, maybe post a photo or two of what you are dealing with and people can give you some tailored advice. Best wishes!

not really, food goes in, nitrates go up, nitrates get to high and GHA is a fact on this process. Lower nitrates and you lower GHA. How one chooses to do such does not need not be lengthy, and while different methods work, only 2 are really conflicting. #1 water changes, #2 media like GFO #3 a fuge / matt #4 chemicals like vibrant... these 4 are the most popular and all work together less #4 with a fuge.
