I Have a bad algae problem in my ebb and flow system. I didn't want to put any chemicals in the water and risk clones or mothers. The only other solution was to purchase a fish that feeds on algae. So I went to the pet store and purchased 3. I changed my water and added my ferts to the water in recommended doses then added my fish. After 4 days the fish are still alive. The plants are still very healthy.
The fish eat the algae and poo in the water. the water is then pumper up to my ladies and they get a boost from the fish poo. like a poop shake for desert after dinner.
At this point I would recommend others try this if they have a prob with algae in an ebb and flow system.
