Does anyone no whether salt and heat eradicate algae? I am currently treating my tank with heat and salt because a few of my fish have Ich. This is the second day of the treatment and I am noticing all the algae but a few tufts of on the driftwood are gone. I do have 3 SAE's, 4 Ottocinclus and one Bushynose Pleco, But I have had the Ottos for 2 months and the SAEs and Pleco for 3 weeks and there was always plenty of algae to keep them all busy, but now it's 80% gone from plants and the sides of the tank.
Has adding salt to the water eradicated my algae?

Could be that increasing the heat stimulated the appetite of some of your algae eaters. I'm not sure if salt and/or heat would directly hinder algae growth.

I wish I was a fish I wish.
:iagree: I treated my tank the same way once and there was no change in the algae. Instead I had a plant die off... nearly lost all my cabomba and many crypts melted.
