UltralifeBlue Green Slime Stain Remover

First, this product is amazing! Now read my story on why it's amazing. Trust me it works. After a long absence from the hobby of freshwater fish, my wife and I returned about a year and half ago. With a little bit of re-learning curve, the tank was doing great for a year almost. We have a happy bonded pair of EB Acara that breed regularly, a happy and large Clown Fish, several Rams and lots of Julii Cory--along with snails and other fish. It all was going so well with regular maintenance, feeding them frozen worms and brine shrimp everyday, good water quality, no lose of life, pretty live plants...our tank was awesome!Then it happened. Not sure why or how. And after HOURS of research and talking to the LPS folks, still no clearer answer was found. And nothing I did could fix this ugly Blue-Green slime covering everything in the tank. I tried it all--all the advice of experts. I did large water changes, cleaned all the plants with 3% Hydro-P and I would get the tank green free and BAM! the gross green slime would return quickly. I did everything suggested--more light, less light, new lights, more chemicals, less chemicals, more cleaning, anti-Algae treatments, less food, different food, different canister filter set-ups, and on and on (some of the attempts were pretty expensive too)... nothing worked. I mean Nothing At All. I was very close to throwing in the towel completely. Research shows the number 1 reason why people leave this hobby is Algae. That was almost me.But finally one night after giving it one more shot and looking around on the internet I discovered that it is NOT Algae after all, but instead a bacteria. Called Cyanobacteria - Blue-green Algae (but its no Algae). So armed with this new information I stumbled onto this product on the hobby blogs and looked here on Amazon and read the reviews and looked at the pictures. Shocked I saw the exact same problem in those photos that we had!So I ordered UltraLife immediately. And I'm very happy to report two weeks later it is all gone. No more Blue-Green Slime and as an added bonus my tank looks almost new again. All the live plants look healthier, the stuff in the tank looks cleaner and the sand on the bottom looks almost new again, the downed Zero is clean again. I am so thankful for this product! It actually changed my life and made me happy with the hobby that we have literally way over a thousand dollars invested in. And to think, I was about to throw it all away!As the great reviews I read here said, why this product is not on the shelf of every LPS and major pet store chain is beyond me. Another reason why I guess I do almost 90% of my shopping here on Amazon. Anyway, if you have a bright green slime that looks like green Algae, it is not and to get rid of it completely -- use this amazing product, nothing else works, trust me. I simply took a large 2 liter bottle of UV freshwater sold at the nearby chain pet store, mixed in half the powder from the little bottle of UltraLife and let that sit for a few hours. Then I poured into my 80 gallon tank. Nothing happened at all for a few days, but then I could see it working some. It was breaking down and destroying the Blue-Green slime. It almost got it all after a week, but my tank was bad off. So I did a small water change and then repeated again. The rest of the small bottle of powder in another 2 liter freshwater UV purified store bottle and into the tank after it dissolved. Now another week later it is all gone and the tank looks great!In the picture I've attached its gone. But just a short two weeks ago almost the entire bottom was covered in a really bright green slime. It was all over the plants, the downed Zero plane, and on the heater, the Co2 diffuser, the bio sponge filter, etc. -- no its completely gone! I will always have this product on hand for now on. Try it, it works and its amazing.

Review: Effective Blue-Green Algae Remover – Worked Within Days!I was dealing with a pretty persistent case of blue-green algae in my aquarium—it was covering my substrate and creeping onto the plants. After trying to manage it naturally with lighting adjustments and water changes, I finally decided to try this blue-green algae remover, and I’m so glad I did.Within just a few days of using it, I saw a noticeable difference. The dark, slimy coating started to break up and disappear, and the water looked clearer. I followed the dosing instructions carefully, and it didn’t affect any of my fish, shrimp, or snails, which was a big concern for me. Everything in the tank handled it great.Now, a week later, the tank looks almost brand new. The plants can breathe again, and I’m not fighting the constant spread. This remover did exactly what it claimed to do—and fast. Highly recommend it if you’re dealing with BGA and want a reliable, safe solution.

I've kept various aquariums over the last 30 years and periodically I have battled the dreaded blue green slime algae. Spoiler alert: the algae ALWAYS wins.When the algae made its appearance in my 20 gallon tank this January I was crushed. I began removing it by hand every other day. It was disgusting and the smell... if you've had this algae you know the smell I am talking about. Even removing as much as I could by hand within 48 hours it looked like I hadn't done anything at all.Google came to the rescue and I found out about this product. I was skeptical because I couldn't find anything about what the ingredients are. Just that it's not an antibiotic (this is actually cyanobacteria and traditionally fishkeepers would treat with antibiotics back in the day) and is safe for fish, shrimp, and plants. I decided I didn't have anything to lose and gave it a shot.I added the first dose and noticed the next day that the algae didn't appear quite as green. The second dose goes in 48 hours later and I was already seeing a small improvement. After a week you can add a third dose if needed. I watched the algae basically vanish out of my tank over the next few days. 7 days from the first dose there is no sign that the algae was ever there. Even the smell is gone! I am stunned by how well this worked and there was no damage to my plants, fish, or my shrimp. The two photos attached show my tank the day of the first dose and 1 week after with no cleaning or water changes done. Absolutely amazing.
