Until that's clarified, go with the longest interval (10–15 days) at or below the stated dose, with a water change between treatments. Never add more because it hasn't worked yet; overdosing an algaecide is a common way to crash a tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. My tank is bright green — can I clear it all at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Please don't try. When a heavy bloom dies off all at once, the decaying algae consumes oxygen and releases ammonia, and that's what kills fish after an algae treatment. Treat in stages, run an air stone for extra aeration through the process, test for ammonia, and do a water change once the algae dies back. Patience here genuinely protects your livestock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.

Green water and stubborn glass algae come from too much light and too many nutrients — long photoperiods, direct sunlight on the tank, overfeeding, or skipped water changes. A treatment buys you a clear tank for a while; shortening your light period, shading the tank, feeding less, and keeping to a water change schedule is what keeps it clear. For green water, a UV steriliser or a 3–4 day blackout clears blooms without adding anything to the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 20–25 business days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantedpro","offers":[{"title":"MIRAVEXL","offer_id":45874182357061,"sku":"14:202594829#1pc","price":26.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/7552\/3909\/files\/MIRAVEXLAquariumAlgaeRemovalTablets-PlantedPro-07.webp?v=1790505335","url":"https:\/\/plantedpro.com\/products\/plantedpro-com-products-aquarium-algae-removal-tablets-150ct","provider":"PlantedPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
