algee?

[red eye]

How does algee grow without daylight? And what can I use to clean my loop?

To get rid of it you can put fast growing live plants in your Loop to reduce the nitrite in the water that algae feeds on.

where can I find this fast growing plant from and how do I remove it from the waterblock after?

What my crapberry will let me see on internet says lemon juice, viniger ketcup
Listerin. I have none of these at home apart from cilit bang grime and line and some oral b alcohol free

The wife told me to check on google "what can get rid of algee" and that came up

 

[Ollie1132]

Wheres the algee exactly? If it's in your CPU block you can just disassemble it clean it off and put it back together. There should be guides for it around the internet.

to remove most things from a waterblock, take a clean toothbrush and some ketchup and scrub.
rinse block with distilled water, not tap water, and hey presto

i don't think algae* can grow without sunlight tbh, i may be wrong, also using a silver kill coil or some biocide can help keep a loop clean and clear

 

[jeff6475]

Algee needs a alittle light to grow

 

[Mayhems]

1 to 2mls of biocide will clear it up with in 2 hours.

You know if you dont use anything special in your loop you could always purcahse a
couple of these and they will keep your loop clean.

it is indeed a EK block. Funny that EK say that kill coil and some coolants is the cause. I have only used the EK ekoolent that was included in the kit.

Eddy@EK will always find something wrong with what you did!

Made me chuckle... What do you use to stop the ottocinclus blocking up the pump

This could be like the song "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly..."

It certainly seems that way. Unless you buy EK branded all the way, it's always the other manufacturers fault. Who's fault exactly was it when the EK blocks Nickel started peeling away.... oh yes. Mine. Why? Wrong type of water...
