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.

a modern love story
Format: Kindle
This book captured my attention from the first line. She has a way of making you feel the emotions, heartache, and even loving memories she shares. I literally remember stopping to tell my boyfriend I couldn't wait to have kids because of the way she described picking up her children from school and their innocent smiles as soon as they saw her. It's a tragedy and a love story, and a coming to her own all in one. Loved this book!

Memories Are Made of This
Format: Kindle
Belle Burden has overcome a weighty burden—pun intended! Strangers is a book of many colors. There is so much of the overcast gray of heartbreak and estrangement. There is plenty of the blue of heavy disappointment and grief. But happily for every reader, there are so many of the bright colors of happiness and fulfillment. The premise of this memoir has been well documented—a wealthy, privileged life led by a woman of means is interrupted by the abrupt departure of her husband for points unknown. Children remain—-lodged in some difficult ‘tween years. Central is the woman who just happens to be made of pretty stern stuff as it turns out and who is a brilliant writer. Belle Burden is the belle of her own tale. She shares it all with the reader in un-put-down-able prose, sparing nothing, We are richer for reading Belle Burden’s beautifully crafted memoir. The warm glow of hope is there for all to share. Well done!

Surprisingly Unputdownable
Format: Kindle
I read saw several reviews that said this book wasn’t really about anything, and they were right. There was no big drama, no fighting, no headline news. But there was something in the writing that felt profound and I couldn’t stop reading. And I’m glad I didn’t. In the end for me, this was a story about a marriage, and choices that were made and the strength of a woman who wouldn’t be silent, and the writing that brought so much emotion with it that I wound up feeling all of it so deeply. And when a writer can create those feelings in me, then her book was definitely worth reading. I highly recommend this book - I don’t think you’ll regret the time you spend in its pages. I know I didn’t.

Slightly Interesting
Format: Kindle
First, I think Belle is a great writer. There was a lot of effort put into making this a very readable book. I also think that what happened to her really was terrible. Her husband 100% was wrong in what he did to her with the affair and his disappearance. Ultimately, her marriage prior to the betrayal seemed very superficial. She acknowledges that she chose the comforts of wealth over a close relationship. She had a part time husband/father and honestly it's not surprising that he left. He was barely there to begin. Her absolute terror in imagining that she would drop down from the top 0.1% down to around the top 1% was not the compelling tragedy that she seems to think it is. Her bemoaning of the loss of ultra luxuries tended to diminish the emotional toll of her plight. The book is laced through with the eventual end that her husband is going to take his assets and half of hers, but it never happens. I think she wants to relate the uncertainty and fear that she had, but it comes off as fake panic. In the end, it's a sad story, but it was very predictable. It's a story about a woman who outsourced her responsibilities, who doesn't know how to operate without extreme wealth, and who shudders at the prospect of having to work a job. It was a short book, but 3 times longer than necessary.
