Weekly Gardening Hints from Our Dome to Yours

Tank Tips:

This time of year we see more problems with algae growth in the tank and dome owners come to us to ask us how to solve the problem. Most of our customers with algae problems, have a strong desire to solve it organically and so most of our research has been in this area. The use of algaecides can contribute to other problems in the tank and we try and stay away from that solution.

One of the first things to mention is that once dome owners seem to get a balance going, it rarely happens again - but establishing a balanced system in the beginning can take some experimentation. Your local library, internet search for organic algae control and pond store/water gardens are great places to get advice.

We always strive to have an integrated system of plants, fish, snails and algae eaters in our tanks. A pump for aerating the water (we cover it with mesh to stop large debris from clogging it) and if need be, a filter. The plants are an essential feature because when they are established, they compete with the algae for nutrients and block some of the surface area from the sun, which is a large contributing factor in algae growth.
