Question
i dont have a problem with the fish themselves but, the tank, i can NOT get rid of the algae, i've used different things the people from the pet store suggested but, nada, keeps coming back, also, i wanna clean the tank out or at least all the gravel and rocks i have in there, any suggestions?
thank you

Answer
Hi Jimm:  You do not need to clean the whole tank to rid your tank of algae... If you do not correct whatever is causing the algae it will just come back regardless of the tank cleaning.  So before you spend a lot of energy on cleaning the tank lets see if we can diagnose why you have algae.... How much light per day does  your tank get??? Algae needs light, and food to live... so lets start with the light... dave
