Its time for "Tank Tip Tuesday"-
Did you know that using a large amount of chemicals in your tank can actually have a negative effect? One of the worst things you can do to your tank is use a large amount of unnecessary chemicals.
Probably two of the most common reasons for using excess chemicals is to prevent illness, and to stop algae growth. When it comes to algae, people tend to put lots of Algaecides in their tank; often this is unnecessary. Algaecides should not be used as prevention; rather use them when you have an outbreak.
You can control algae outbreaks naturally as well through water changes, reduced feeding and limiting the time of lighting in your tank.
Long-term this is generally also much healthier for the fish.
You should only add chemicals to your tank when it’s absolutely necessary.
