I’ve used AlgaeFix for three months now and noticed a significant reduction in green algae on the glass and substrate. My fish and plants seem unaffected. It’s easy to dose and works consistently every week.

The algae control is effective, especially on the back wall where it used to grow heavily. I still need to clean occasionally, but it’s much less frequent now. No issues with my fish or plants.
