Beat Aquarium Algae by Optimizing Flow and Circulation

Today, I have a 14 month update on my UNS 60U (20 gal). In the previous video, I had succumbed to my battle with black beard algae, so decided to replace the entire background with new plants. Since then, I've made a few new changes to the water circulation and distribution of CO2. These updates have won me a battle in the long war against the BBA. In today's video, I'll share some tips and tricks that may help you defeat the algae in your aquarium!
