- 【Have you ever been bothered by black bearded algae?】
「I'm having trouble with the hard algae growth.」
「I want to know how to remove the algae.」
「I want to know the cause of why the black bearded moss is growing.」
This video is very useful for such people.
I will explain in detail how to remove the hard, black, bearded algae.
For my translated videos,there will be times when the audio will be out of sync,
This is due to not needing as much time to explain things in English
It will sound off and I am sorry.

Excellent video. Judging by the pristine condition of your aquariums you are a far more accomplished aquarist than me. Total respect to you 🙏🏻
My two aquariums are very low tech , filtered only by box and sponge filters. Algexit did the job for me, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
This is the best content I ever saw. Congratulations and thank you for your kindness. 👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent information.
Thank you for making these videos. You are knowledgeable and these videos have helped me very much!

Finally a video that deals with the causes of BBA. Wonderful video. Now to act on the causes of my BBA.
the best explanation about it.
Congratulations! nice!
Thanks for the information, much appreciated
Thank you! Very helpful.
Thank you for this valuable information. I have what I think is black beard, although it grows mostly on the edges of my plants. I did some pretty serious plant trimming on some giant val and also removed a lot of floating plants. At the same time, I placed a Marienland polishing filter in the tank which created a lot of flow. I left it in there for several days. This is when I first began seeing the algae. So, it appears I did all of the things which created the perfect environment for the algae.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi that was a wonderful video, very easy to understand and very informative, so in my discus tank I should remove my wave maker?
very informative, I thank you! So if your outflow is concentrated (in 1 area) does this cause algae in that area (it is directed) or does the algae thrive in areas where water flow is low/non existent?
Thanks so much for this video. I knew that water flow would be an issue for my axolotl and shrimp, but didn't make the correlation between water flow and the plants. Looking forward to a clean tank!!

Thank you for this video. how often should the water be changed when having BBA and should I be fertilising with every water change.
Nice and clear, from the three reasons I have one that coulb be ,,,a strong current in may 55 gallons tank running with a Fx5 fluval filter, but the excess of day light ( not sun light) can be a cause too? the problem start when I change my sustrate for Carib sea eco complete planted black aquarium sustrate , do you think I shoud change the sustrate too,? thank you.
Official WASABI Moderator: Yes, daylight contains high levels of UV and full spectrum and causes algae to bloom, probably not specifically BBA, but you'll have endless algae issues. Best to keep the aquarium away from windows or shaded with blinds or curtains. Substrate shouldn't be a cause, but I'd recommend a lot of Seachem Matrix in your canister filter and add in ADA GREEN BACTER PLUS
to aid with beneficial bacteria growth. Thanks to your support! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Sorry for another question. But will an air stone placed behind areas that block water flow alleviate/correct that missing water flow?
Thanks brother

Thank you very much, hope u guys can do a video abt how to remove "Black Dot Algae on leaf" thanks
Official WASABI Moderator: Dear Mirai, not sure what black dot algae is, can you please send an image to noriaquach@gmail.com? Thanks.
@@NORIaquaCh Thanks for the reply, its black spot algae :) sorry
Is the translation done by steven chong? And thanks for the instructions, bba has always been one of the hardest algae to get rid of
Official WASABI Moderator: Nice guess, but no. Thanks to your support! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
What kind of lights are you running?
Hello hello i would like to understand the part when you mentioned about changing new media. But if we do so then the beneficial bacteria we would need to cycle the biomedia again. Wouldnt it be a hassle?
Official WASABI Moderator: To kick start beneficial bacteria colonization, I recommend to use ADA GREEN BACTER PLUS
. Thanks to your support! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
@@NORIaquaCh u add them into the filter media too??
@@BURAIANANDRESRAMOS Official WASABI Moderator: Hi Bryan. Good question. You can add it in either the filter or tank. The dosage rate is 1 drop per 20L, or 5.3 Gallons. For example, ADA 60-P is 60L, so you add 3 drops. For the best result use it daily for two weeks. Hope this helps!
Is 2 year old ada v2 aquasoil too old?
For next video i would like to see how to get rid of hair algae or string algae
Official WASABI Moderator: We recently published a video covering hair algae. Thanks to your support! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
When you mentioned water changes to control algae, do you mean 70-80% water changes? I was doing ( I dropped out of the hobby because of algae) about 20% weekly water change. Also using 2 tube plant light 12 hrs. I was using the right size of bio-wheel filter, no air stone. 40 gal. breeder tank, no air stone. Later on I switched to a submersible filter and then connected a sugar/yeast bottle up to the venturi hose (uncontrolled, 24/7). (Now that I think of it, I may have had more algae problems when I did the sugar/yeast trick. Been 10 yrs+ to recall that thought,)
Too much light, too much water chemistry fluctuation with those massive water changes.
You rock
Thank you. I thought having slow or weak water flow will grow the bba or bga in the tank.
Official WASABI Moderator: Thanks Suraj. M.Indra, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.
I'm off to buy more plants.🌿
I recently had a black beard algae problem. But I solved it. Thanks to the community.
I have posted updates on my channel.
Please make video for green hair alage.
Big water changes and a reduction in light..plus you just might need a bigger biofilter. When I went to a bigger filter? Hair algae was totally gone.

How does high water flow trigger BBA?
Official WASABI Moderator: It's only a possibility, BBA is still much of a grey area. But it seems that BBA thrive in high flow areas. Thanks to your support! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
The worst algae of all? Is the black hard algae that gets on Anubias especially. Its like spray paint,no scrubbing it off. My guess is thrives in a certain light spectrum also.
i have 0 nitrates and phosphates and still got bba....
Once it grew on my bettas ripped fin T_T Thats when I noticed the fluffy balls on my hardscape...
That's strange - Official WASABI Moderator
In my opinion the main cause are to high amounts of iron instead of nitrates and phosphorus.
Official WASABI Moderator: Good point Martin, thanks for pointing that out. It is however that it's only applicable if you have BBA in your tank, and your plants are show signs of an iron deficiency in yellowing leaves at the same time. Keep up the good work on the comments, you rock!
Agree, I've started developing BBA when I added plant fertilizer with iron to my tank
to the end ...out with fish tanck from window...
Official WASABI Moderator: Don't give up! Keep trying! Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
