Review: Amazing, it works and it is better than you think! See Picture - First, this product is amazing! Now read my story on why it's amazing. Trust me it works. After a long absence from the hobby of freshwater fish, my wife and I returned about a year and half ago. With a little bit of re-learning curve, the tank was doing great for a year almost. We have a happy bonded pair of EB Acara that breed regularly, a happy and large Clown Fish, several Rams and lots of Julii Cory--along with snails and other fish. It all was going so well with regular maintenance, feeding them frozen worms and brine shrimp everyday, good water quality, no lose of life, pretty live plants...our tank was awesome! Then it happened. Not sure why or how. And after HOURS of research and talking to the LPS folks, still no clearer answer was found. And nothing I did could fix this ugly Blue-Green slime covering everything in the tank. I tried it all--all the advice of experts. I did large water changes, cleaned all the plants with 3% Hydro-P and I would get the tank green free and BAM! the gross green slime would return quickly. I did everything suggested--more light, less light, new lights, more chemicals, less chemicals, more cleaning, anti-Algae treatments, less food, different food, different canister filter set-ups, and on and on (some of the attempts were pretty expensive too)... nothing worked. I mean Nothing At All. I was very close to throwing in the towel completely. Research shows the number 1 reason why people leave this hobby is Algae. That was almost me. But finally one night after giving it one more shot and looking around on the internet I discovered that it is NOT Algae after all, but instead a bacteria. Called Cyanobacteria - Blue-green Algae (but its no Algae). So armed with this new information I stumbled onto this product on the hobby blogs and looked here on desertcart and read the reviews and looked at the pictures. Shocked I saw the exact same problem in those photos that we had! So I ordered UltraLife immediately. And I'm very happy to report two weeks later it is all gone. No more Blue-Green Slime and as an added bonus my tank looks almost new again. All the live plants look healthier, the stuff in the tank looks cleaner and the sand on the bottom looks almost new again, the downed Zero is clean again. I am so thankful for this product! It actually changed my life and made me happy with the hobby that we have literally way over a thousand dollars invested in. And to think, I was about to throw it all away! As the great reviews I read here said, why this product is not on the shelf of every LPS and major pet store chain is beyond me. Another reason why I guess I do almost 90% of my shopping here on desertcart. Anyway, if you have a bright green slime that looks like green Algae, it is not and to get rid of it completely -- use this amazing product, nothing else works, trust me. I simply took a large 2 liter bottle of UV freshwater sold at the nearby chain pet store, mixed in half the powder from the little bottle of UltraLife and let that sit for a few hours. Then I poured into my 80 gallon tank. Nothing happened at all for a few days, but then I could see it working some. It was breaking down and destroying the Blue-Green slime. It almost got it all after a week, but my tank was bad off. So I did a small water change and then repeated again. The rest of the small bottle of powder in another 2 liter freshwater UV purified store bottle and into the tank after it dissolved. Now another week later it is all gone and the tank looks great! In the picture I've attached its gone. But just a short two weeks ago almost the entire bottom was covered in a really bright green slime. It was all over the plants, the downed Zero plane, and on the heater, the Co2 diffuser, the bio sponge filter, etc. -- no its completely gone! I will always have this product on hand for now on. Try it, it works and its amazing.
Review: Successful treatment after some patience and clean-up - I have a 10-gal tank that I suspect got seeded with this "green slime" bacteria during the addition of some new fish about six months ago. The water seemed unusually cloudy for several days and then over the next month everything steadily became covered with bright green algae-looking stuff. The tank also started to emit an earthy pond-water odor. I was periodically pulling the stuff off the tank bottom and the plants to try to keep them from being totally choked out, but I clearly needed to take more aggressive action to stop the stuff. I read a number of reviews and opinions, and this product looked like the best combination of safe and easy. The manufacturer is very vague about what it's actually made from, but it appears to be a biological extract, not a chemical or pharmaceutical compound. About three months after the suspected seeding event, I did an initial dose following more manual de-sliming. I followed the instructions carefully for the amount and process of dissolving in warm water, etc. I was hoping to see what some others had described, where the slime was clearly dying and disappearing within a few days, but after a week all I noticed was a slow yellowing in certain areas. The instructions mention re-dosing, so at that point I did a second round. The yellowing continued into a light brown, but the dead biomass never really disappeared. The fish and shrimp seemed uninterested, so apparently it doesn't taste as good as actual algae. Eventually, about a month after the initial treatment, I declared the operation complete and spent an evening rubbing dead slime off various surfaces and vacuuming up the debris. Perhaps most importantly, it hasn't returned in the couple months since, something a few others had described with frustration. In conclusion, I think this is probably the best treatment option out there, as it did stop the slime and had no apparent side effects on the fish and plants. Just beware that the die-off may occur slowly over a few weeks, and you should expect to clean up some debris after treatment. I will also mention that the instructions say to increase aeration during treatment, perhaps expecting that the decay of dead slime may deplete oxygen levels. My only aeration normally is a HOB-filter, and I didn't really want to buy a pump and air stones just for this exercise. So, I ran the initial couple weeks of treatment with the water level a couple inches low to create more splashing from the HOB waterfall. Minimizing oxygen demand was also a motivation for my thorough manual slime removal at the time of the initial dosing. Not sure which of these was more important, but I didn't have any deaths or notice other fish stress during the treatment period.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the ingredients? There is no information on the box or bottle and there is no insert. I will not put an unknown substance into my tank. Thx**
A: I've used this product in a 55gal planted tank that was COVERED in green-slime algae. Whatever it is made of, it cleaned up the tank in a week. And my plants and fish were all fine during and after it's use.

**Q: How much should I put in a 5 gallon tank?**
A: I'd be conservative and go 1/2 to 2/3 of one level scoop.

**Q: Do I repeat the dosage day by day until the algae is gone? Or is a once a week between water changes thing?**
A: Just one dose at one time. Be patient. By the 5th or 6th day the algae will be gone. You won't even need to keep dosing weekly after that because one treatment takes care of it.

**Q: It is known bga dies off with higher levels of o2, is this what's really killing off bga or the hidden ingredients doing it? snakeoil, maybe?**
A: All I know is that even with higher levels of O2, bga was growing in my tank and there was no way to get rid of it as it is a bacteria. I wish we would know more about the composition of this product but the fact is: it is very efficient.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safe and effective for removing BGA.
*by C***N on April 19, 2025*

Review: Effective Blue-Green Algae Remover – Worked Within Days! I was dealing with a pretty persistent case of blue-green algae in my aquarium—it was covering my substrate and creeping onto the plants. After trying to manage it naturally with lighting adjustments and water changes, I finally decided to try this blue-green algae remover, and I’m so glad I did. Within just a few days of using it, I saw a noticeable difference. The dark, slimy coating started to break up and disappear, and the water looked clearer. I followed the dosing instructions carefully, and it didn’t affect any of my fish, shrimp, or snails, which was a big concern for me. Everything in the tank handled it great. Now, a week later, the tank looks almost brand new. The plants can breathe again, and I’m not fighting the constant spread. This remover did exactly what it claimed to do—and fast. Highly recommend it if you’re dealing with BGA and want a reliable, safe solution.
