Plant Essential® Black Beard Remover is scientifically formulated to effectively remove Black Beard Algae (BBA) and other nuisance algae from freshwater aquariums. BBA is one of the most prevalent issues in freshwater aquariums, often appearing as dark, bushy growths. If left untreated, BBA can spread rapidly, covering glass surfaces, wood, and plants, which may cause stress and discomfort to the aquarium's inhabitants by blocking light and depleting oxygen levels.

To help mitigate stress and maintain a vibrant and healthy aquarium environment, we recommend providing a balanced array of nutrients. This can be achieved by using our comprehensive range of supplements, including Plant Essential® Bio-Nutrients™, which supplies essential macro and micronutrients, Plant Essential® Bio-Molecules™, which supports vital plant functions, and Plant Essential® Bio-Trace™, which ensures trace elements are available for optimal plant growth.

As your aquarium plants grow stronger and healthier, they will naturally outcompete BBA by absorbing the nutrients that BBA relies on, thereby slowing its growth rate. Plant Essential® Black Beard Remover is a highly effective tool for eliminating BBA, especially when used in conjunction with maintaining healthy water conditions and introducing algae-eating inhabitants like Siamese algae eaters or certain species of snails.

Furthermore, Plant Essential® Black Beard Remover is manufactured using only superior grade raw ingredients, ensuring a safe and potent solution without the harmful inclusion of toxic formaldehyde, which is often found in cheaper alternatives. For best results, please adhere to our carefully devised dosing instructions and avoid overdosing. Proper application will ensure a cleaner, healthier aquatic environment for your freshwater friends.

Suitable for these Freshwater environments:

Planted | Fish Only | Shrimp | Pond

Contents:
Deionized Water, Purified Polyglutaraldehyde

An important recommendation when using any type of algaecide is that extra attention is paid to the aquarium during the treatment process.
This is due to the nature of this method where algae are eradicated, breaking down into nitrogenous and organic molecules which may lower the concentration of oxygen due to being catabolized via bacteria. Additionally, eradicating algae which produces oxygen via photosynthesis, may lead to a decrease in oxygen concentration once it dies. This may have detrimental effects to aquarium inhabitants such as suffocation if adequate oxygen levels are not maintained.

Instructions:
Shaking is not required. Add directly into high water flow. For more accurate dosing, the dosing formula is total volume of aquarium and sump minus all media, rock, ornaments, etc. that occupies volume. This product cannot be used on a dosing pump.

Dosing:

If Black Beard Algae is still present, then a longer duration may be necessary. However, it is advised that extra careful attention to detail is paid to your aquarium during that time.

Really Cool
This is actually a well made portafilter. It was such a good idea to be able to have a nice WDT tool built in that doesn’t take up some extra counter space or anything. It minimizes clutter and just was a good idea so you always have it handy. Definitely would recommend.

Fine basket, lousy magnets: Look elsewhere
Build is nice, solid and the baskets fit snuggly without being too hard to remove. The WDT tool works well and came with a surfeit of needles. HOWEVER The tiny magnets holding the WDT in the handle aren’t glued in place and now come FLYING out when the tool is removed. One or two pull free and then shoot across the unit, pulling others out and ending up somewhere in the kitchen. Fortunately (because they’re REALLY small), they form a small column making it somewhat easier to track down. But it’s such a nuisance I now leave the tool out, so there’s a small dangerous hedgehog of verrrry thin needles in my kitchen we need to work around. Sub-optimal, sorta defeats the purpose of in-handle tool.

Unlock your machine's potential
***Twist the WDT tool to remove dont try to just pull, or use your finger nails A slight twist will break the magnetic bond and the tool just comes out of the handle*** i got this to get away chemicals, hot acidic coffee possibly leaching plastic and aluminum that the stock portifilter is made from. This seems like a nice stainless by the looks and heft of it. Aluminium is bad for the brain and plastic is just bad. Function... Im not using a 200$ or more grinder or anything... Just fresh beans and a 30$ wancle amazon burr grinder and this is pulling beautiful bottomless shots that really helped me dial in better and see my channeling issues that intern lets me adjust and get better. The stock tapered basket prevents consistant tamps and keeps you from using off the shelf filter papers at the bottom of the basket. i have to use a gram or 2 more for my dose but that just means stronger drinks. I can tell visually im getting more extraction now that im dialed in by the color after adding milk.
