When BBA takes over, we have to act!

BBA or Black Beard Algae is an aggravating to have on plants, especially on your prized Bucephalandra. In this video, I show you how to easily remove it with peroxide.

I've done this in my tanks too and it works very well!

BBA is such a nuisance, your full video covers the topic very clearly. Thanks!

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!

Any full video and explanation for this?

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Yes, the link is in this short :) "how to treat BBA". Or you can click my channel and you will see it.

I heard that hydrogen peroxide damages the roots and potentially the rhizomes of buce --- have you found that to be the case?

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

It depends on how long you submerge it for. You'd only want to do it for around 2 to 3 mins. In that time period all my Buces have been okay.
Also with the smaller and more delicate Buces, you naturally want to shorten the time to, say 1 mins. You'd have to judge it for yourself. It is not an exact science.

ah i see, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much :)@@GavinKohAquascaping
