Our Algae Control Pack contains three varieties:
6 x Mosaic plant, 6 x Bamboo Floating Plant and 50 x Red Root Floaters.
Aquatic plants such as the mosaic plant, floating bamboo, and red root floater play pivotal roles in regulating algae growth within aquarium tanks. Through a mechanism of competition, these plants absorb vital nutrients like nitrates and phosphates, which are essential for algae proliferation. By monopolizing these nutrients for their own growth and photosynthesis, they effectively starve algae, impeding their ability to thrive. Furthermore, the dense foliage of plants like the mosaic plant and floating bamboo casts shade over the water's surface, reducing the amount of light available to algae, thereby hindering their photosynthesis.
