STOP Pulling your Hair Out!!

As a marine aquarist I am constantly combatting a hair algae issue. I know my lights need to be replaced, but until then I have this problem. I came across this product and am in the process of getting a sample to try out. I have hopes for it as the instructions seem to be fairly intense. Requiring vacuming and water changes during the process (I assume to vacuum out any dead hair/sludge that it manages to kill off).

Stay tuned as I hope this will at least solve the issue temporarily until I manage to get my lights!

Have you tried the new BIO-Spira? This concoction seems to allow you to condition a new tank within minutes or condition an existing tank, with no harmful effects, after a water change.

BIO-Spira is a revolutionary new product that makes marine aquariums fish-safe instantly.

No more waiting. No more guesswork. No more worries about losing fish to new-tank syndrome.

• BIO-Spira contains live patented nitrifying bacteria proven to reduce fish loss due to ammonia and nitrite toxicity.
• BIO-Spira prevents new-tank syndrome by accelerating the establishment of the bacteria necessary for successful biological filtration. In just minutes after adding BIO-Spira to your saltwater aquarium, you can introduce your fish with full confidence that they will not be exposed to dangerous levels of ammonia or nitrite, the culprits that cause new-tank syndrome.
• BIO-Spira doesn?t need to be refrigerated. Unlike other products based on live strains of bacteria, BIO-Spira is shelf-stable at room temperature, which means it’s just as easy to store as it is to use.
