Where does it come from? You didn't mention sometimes it's just your water. I was baffled for months trying to pin down source. Lost a lot of expensive plants and my aquariums looked awful. Diatoms became enemy number one. Made me insane and almost quit hobby completely. Then someone suggested testing my tap water. And there it was. I confirmed in my water before entering aquarium. Many disagree with me and tell me not possible. However, what I know is that since confirming, I finally have the upper hand with diatoms. I have well water. Maybe that's why. All I know is what works for me now. I can confirm this product works. I use it and it is product that I keep on hand at all times. Good video and hopefully it will help a lot of people that are struggling like I was with diatoms.
Thank you so much this is just what i needed!!! I bought a fish tank for ny living room and it has a lot of this brown stuff! It's embarrassing having company over and the first thing they point out is this gross brown stuff! Btw what kind of fish is that? The blue one
Did it completely cure the brown or did it come back? I keep cleaning my tank and plants from it but its almost fully killed one of my expensive plants that is a slow grower 😭 been dealing w brown for 2+ months
I wouldny use it at this time, the bacteria growing in your tank thats helpping the cycling process need phosphates, so i would wait until your tank is fully cycled, are you adding alot of food? Or are you using sand as your substrate?
I can confirm this method works, i left in the phosguard for 3 days (i have plants) and it removed almost all the brown gunk,
THANK YOU
This is great news

I love your tank set up! And your fish is cute 🐠
I know right! The blue fish is so beautiful I would want my entire fish tank filled with those! That would look so epic
The set up is 🔥🔥

Hey, I'm waiting for the "how to be tough" video. I think I'll be needing a video to really touch upon those points.
btw awesome aquarium tank :)
That's a really nice tank. It's not fancy but to me it's one of those tanks you can just sit and stare at for hours
Can you do a video on maintaining your tank? Like the temp, water change, ph levels etc. Pls!!

It cures it for good, but if you start to over feed again or having light problems it will slowly begin to appear again
@@aquaticlives2948 ty!!!
Can you add this to a cycling tank? I have so much brown diatoms in my tank but its still cycling
I wouldny use it at this time, the bacteria growing in your tank thats helpping the cycling process need phosphates, so i would wait until your tank is fully cycled, are you adding alot of food? Or are you using sand as your substrate?
What causes brown algae?
A high phosphate level. Usually from over feeding or too much waste from a high stocked fish tank.
@@aquaticlives2948 can u plz tell me how much small pellets to give fr a tinfoil barb in a day? I give 8-9 per day.
