However, sometimes the balance in a planted aquarium is changed or upset and algae grows. This is both unsightly and frustrating and whilst a quick fix is not the answer (you have to get to the root of the problem), sometimes it needs to be done. Introducing Easy Life AlgExit. I've not seen anything on the market before quite like it and it's made by Easy Life who already have a fantastic range of fertilisers that are very effective. AlgExit eradicates:
- BBA (black beard algae)
- String algae
- Thread algae
- Hair algae
- Green algae
It's quite an impressive line up I think you'll agree!! I'm sure everyone of you out there have struggled with one of the above algae at some time, and I bet you would have found a bottle of AlgExit rather handy, even if it was using it for occasionally ;)

Some great advice there Carl
Thanks :)
I use this stuff all the time and it works great but you need to make sure you do the full 4 weeks. I use this all the time in my tiger shrimp tank even if I don’t have any issues and it never seems to harm the shrimp. For best results add to your tank just after you have done your weekly water change. If you have a BBA problem you will see from about week 3 that the BBA will turn redish. Hair/Thread algae will start going light grey/white this means they are being killed off. Remember that you still need to do weekly water changes and the general weekly care of your tank and that your CO2 and lighting still needs to be balanced.
Hi Alan
There’s no mention of any problems when using with Blue Rams but if in doubt, half the dose, then work upwards and see how they go :)
Is Algexit safe to use with Blue Rams?
Have you tried increasing your dose?
What sort of algae problems are you having anyway?
