Black algae is one of the harder algae types to deal with.
For the longest time, I have been battling black algae and now
it seems like I am winning that battle now.
There are many different ways of dealing with black and or any type of algae. See below for methods on dealing with algae in a aquarium.
1. THE BLACK OUT METHOD.
This is what worked best for me. Turn off the lights on your aquarium for 3 days. Keep in consideration the types of plants you have and the amount of plants you have. If you have low to medium light plants, then keep the lights off for 3 days. Then keep the lights on for max 6 hours per day after that.
If you have plants that need a lot of light, I suggest keeping the lights off for 2 days max, then reduce lighting per day after that and make necessary adjustments according to the results you are getting.
Most plants do not need more then 8 hours of lighting. Try not to exceed more then 8 hours.
2. DIPPING YOUR PLANTS IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND BLEACH

3. GETTING ALGAE EATERS.
There are lots of algae eaters you can buy to help keep algae down. Bushy nose or rubber lip plecos are great for keeping algae down. I use to have a pleco that worked great with algae.

4. CONSISTENT WATER CHANGES AND RESPONSIBLE FEEDING.
When you over feed, the uneaten food in the aquarium will cause excess nutrients in the water column which allows algae to thrive and increase rapidly. Check out this video on how to properly do a water change. Click the link.
