As Dayton's leading expert in fish and fish tank accessories, Gerber’s Tropical Fish provides all of your supplies in one stop. Their state-of-the-art tank accessories, aquariums, and supplies will ensure optimal health for your aquatic friends. But when it comes to tank maintenance, the professionals at Gerber’s Tropical Fish know the keys to controlling algae growth in your tank.

Algae growth is the primary problem with tank maintenance. Aside from being unattractive, uncontrolled algae growth impairs water health, damaging the tank’s aquatic ecosystem. Several factors, such as overfeeding, improper lighting, and forgoing filter maintenance, all contribute to excessive algae growth. Any decaying matter also hinders the health of your tank, and it is important to remove any organisms that have died quickly. 

Through regular up-keep, your aquatic friends will live a long and healthy life. Along with consistent water testing, introducing algae-eating plants and organisms will rebalance the natural life cycle of your tank. Whether you have a fresh or saltwater aquarium, the experts at Gerber’s Tropical Fish will provide you with the best algae control for your needs. Their “Cleaner Kits” consist of a team of snails and hermit crabs to fight algae and maintain the health of their fellow fish and marine corals.

Keep your marine friends happy and in excellent condition with regular maintenance. Visit the Gerber’s Tropical Fish website to learn more about their aquarium inventory, or call to speak with one of their knowledgeable staff members at (937) 297-0515.
