[GassyMon]

Its overgrowing in my tank like its bad but the fish store sold it to me? Maybe the ripped me off...

 

[little_fish]

Any algae can do that, but some are worse than others. But you can think of them as pulling out all the nitrates you have in the water, and then by removing them you are removing excess nutrients, like an intank algae scrubber

 

[yote]

dont worry about the legal stuff on that page, it is a california thing it wont apply, but the pictures are still useful.
