Dark green slimmy algae.

[kymob]

Gave up trying to get rid of the dark green slimy algae in my tank. Even tried antibiotic. My plan is to restart the tank but do I need to bleach the tank completely? or just boil down everything in tank, wood, substrate, stones. can I re use the filter media to jump start the tank?

thanks

Before doing anything drastic you may want to get some UltraLife Blue Green Algae remover. This sounds like cyanobacteria (blue green algae) instead of your normal algae. If it is the UltraLife will kill it off.

And if you then use some Indian almond leaves in the tank this will help to keep it away.

Also try to remove as much as possible manually before starting any treatment.
