Never over-stock a tank in its early months. Livestock waste contributes significantly to algae issues in new tanks (\u0026lt; 3 months old). Regularly change water the 2Hr Way and remove old\/ decaying leaves. Stem plants require replanting of the healthy tops after trimming once or twice. Old deteriorating stems invite algae to bloom.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2HR Aquarist","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":49154465890404,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300ml","offer_id":49154465923172,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49154465955940,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/7081\/5076\/files\/fixlite-100ml.png?v=1788561088","url":"https:\/\/www.boutiqueaquanova.com\/fr\/products\/2hr-aquarist-apt-fix-lite","provider":"Boutique AquaNova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
