What I used to do was put a piece of blunt glass outside in a bucket in direct sunlight. I'd let it sit there for a while to build up a nice mat of algae then I'd pick it up and place it in my tank. The various kinds of pleco *loved* it, they would in a few hours completely clean it off. You could see how excited they got when they were near the glass.

Hi there , I've been thinking about two filtration systems, also about algae, snails plants and shell fish. I thought if it would be beneficial, add an undergravel filter, which had some synthetic fiber fabric, maybe a thin layer of sponge to prevent the soil from penetrating, then add coarse sand, and above the sand a layer of very small round pebbles, and then the rocks, sticks or drifting wood, and the plants; and the other filter I thought of would be the compartment filter behind the rear glass wall of the aquarium with dofeentes mayerias like onion bags, expanded clay, large and small round pebbles, coal, coarse sand there to add a transparent hose to bring the water to pass through an ultra violet lamp, to kill the algae spores, returning the water back to the aquarium, add aeration stones, in the transparent acrylic tubes that would take air to the undergravel filter; also add some shell fish to the bottom of the aquarium to help with filtration. I have a question about snails eating plants, and what is your opinion on an aquarium like this? Thanks in advance for your time.... .....I will be waiting for your reply. God bless you.........

@@sandidsaman7723 overgrowth of algae is usually caused by a combination of light and nutrients, usually light. You can put a bucket of water outside in direct sunlight with no nutrients and within a few days it starts growing algae, in a few weeks, if you keep replenishing the water, it becomes completely green. Put that same bucket in the shade and it will take much longer to see any green starting to develop. If you want some algae, get a better, stronger light, or move your tank closer to a window where it can get some sunlight.

OMG! friend's had all these fandango stuff. Theirs died, mine thrived as I had little ponds. Tanks breed quicker than fish. Algae, mmm kept front clean. I'LL SHOW MYSELF OUT.

No nitrates, the tank is heavily planted with a 4” substrate.

Otherwise I also have a couple of types of swords, anubias, dwarf red lily, alternanthera reineckii super red, Java moss, subwassertang, dwarf baby tears, Amazon frogbit, duck weed, salvinia for floating plants on top.

They eat the little bugs and they feed on the ugly protien film on the top and I don't have to feed them at all till they get a bit bigger. I only clean front glass and pull hair algea out because I have had small fish get stuck in it before. I do not like blue green and cyanobac because some forms release toxins but theres a snail in Australia that will eat it called waterhouse snails I don't see it very often though.

Can’t remember the exact details but the Aboriginies knew that fresh gum leaves are toxic. They used to soak them in water to make them safe (cannot remember why?) or age them? Australian underwater biotopes are full of gum tree leaves and bits of tree. Seems that once they decompose a bit they are no longer toxic for the fish or any aquatic lifeforms. My method is to collect underwater detritus (already decomposing vegetable matter) from outside. I don’t collect fresh leaves. That way whether it is from eucalyptus trees is irrelevant to me.
