King British Algae Control 100ml
King British Algae Control 100ml –
A natural, easy-to-use water treatment.
To control algae growth in coldwater, tropical and marine aquariums.
Algae growth is not only unsightly, but it can be lethal to fish as it drastically lowers oxygen levels in the water.
King British Algae Control contains friendly micro-organisms, cultivated on barley straw. It controls filamentous algae, including blanket weed, and green water in your fish tank.
Captive fish live in a completely closed environment and are entirely dependent on their surrounding water.
This means they are reliant on us to maintain their water quality at a suitable level for them to be able to live healthy, happy lives.
When to use King British Algae Control:
- If green filaments of algae are visible in the aquarium
- If a green haze is visible on aquatic plants, ornaments or the aquarium glass
- Once every 14 days to control algal growth

Formulas to calculate the volume of water in your aquarium
Square and rectangular aquariums: Average Length (cm) x Average Width (cm) x Average Height (cm) ÷ 1000 = Volume (L)
Circular aquariums: Surface Area (cm²) x Average Depth (cm) ÷ 1000
If you are unsure what the surface area of your circular aquarium is you will need to calculate this using (R² x π) or by using the following steps.
- Measure the radius of your aquarium. This is the centre of the aquarium to the edge. The easiest way to do this is to measure across the entire length of your aquarium across the middle and divide by 2: Length (cm) ÷ 2 = Radius (cm)
- Then, multiply the answer by itself: Radius x Radius (or R²)
- Next, multiply the new answer by 3.14 (or R² x π) = Surface Area (cm²)
- You are now ready to calculate the volume of water in your aquarium
- Multiply the new answer by the average depth of your aquarium: Surface Area (cm²) x Average Depth ÷ 1000 = Volume (L)
