LABEL DESCRIPTION
Blackbeard algae (BBA), scientifically referred to as Audouinella sp. and Rhodochorton is a common type of red algae found in freshwater aquariums. It is characterised by its dark green, grey, or black hues. If not managed quickly, this algae can spread rapidly, often due to low carbon dioxide levels that hinder plant growth and create favourable conditions for BBA. To effectively tackle black beard algae, it is crucial to identify the factors affecting plant health and restore equilibrium in the aquarium. Our Carbon and Blackbeard products are designed to eliminate BBA while fostering a healthy aquatic environment, ensuring your aquarium remains vibrant and thriving.
