Our Algae Control Pack has 4 varieties including:
6 x Mosaic Plant, 50 x Red Root Floater, 6 x Floating Bamboo plant and 50 x Giant Duckweed.
These plants are essential allies in the battle against algae overgrowth within aquarium tanks and they engage in competitive nutrient uptake, absorbing crucial elements such as nitrates and phosphates, which are vital for algae proliferation. By monopolising these nutrients for their own growth and photosynthesis, they effectively starve algae, thwarting their ability to flourish. Moreover, the dense foliage of plants such as the Mosaic plant, Floating Bamboo, and Giant Duckweed creates shading over the water's surface, diminishing the light available to algae for photosynthesis.
