Tetra Algae Control
Removes unsightly algae fast from your aquarium! Algae Control™ not only combats aquarium algae, it also works to keep it from returning. Algae Control is highly effective against green water (algal blooms), bluegreen algae, diatoms or “brown algae,” hair algae or blanketweed that grow on the glass and décor. Unlike some other products on the market, Tetra Algae Control can be safely used in planted aquariums. Tetra’s precision dropper tops help consumers administer the proper dose to their aquarium. One drop treats one gallon.

Thomas Cornish –
I’ve used Tetra Algae Control for two months now and it has significantly reduced the green water in my tank. The algae on the glass is much less visible and it hasn’t returned since the first application. I appreciate that it’s safe for my live plants.
Maria Gibson –
It works well on the hair algae that was growing on the sides of my tank. I cleaned the glass first, then added one drop per gallon. The algae faded within a few days. It’s a simple and effective solution.
Kimberly Lewis –
My planted tank had a brown algae issue that persisted for weeks. After using Tetra Algae Control, the problem disappeared. I didn’t have to remove any plants or change water frequently. It’s a reliable product.
