what will take off the algae on plant leaves?

was wondering what would be the best product to put in my aquarium to get rid of the algae on plants leaves i have siamese algae eaters and trumpet snails but still have algae on the leaves

nerite snails usually does the trick for me.

More plants and shorten your lights on time some.
In planted tanks theres a balance between # of plants, nutrients and the amount of light. Once you find that balance you will have next to no algae in your tank.

try flourish excel to spot treat algae. Use a syringe. But yeah you want to stop the cause of the algae all togather also.

I also have green algee in my planted 55g now...its all over my xmas moss patch

Is it hair algae? or green spot algae?

Depends on the type of algae as for method of treatment.

But as mentioned...balance is key.

ok if you have alage in the planted tank that means it is more nuits then the plants can take in which gives the green light for the alage to start so i suggest you cut back on feeding and the number of hours the light is on, with that being said is the tank in a spot the gets direct or indirect sunlight during the day? either will add to the grow of alage. Cut back on light/feeding and increase water changes that will help on the alage problem.

i green hair algee growing in my planted tank an its driving me crazy

Green hair....nice. j/k

I didn't see if you mentioned dosing any ferts or not. And what type of lighting and photo period are we looking at also?

yea i use seachem fluorish run all glass aquarium double 67k..james

ajust the dosing and lighting period... spot treat with sea chem florish excel...

are you dosing marcos and mircos?

here is what each fert does and helps with.
Potassium - Protein synthesis, water and charge balance, enzyme activation.
Boron - Chlorophyll production, flowering, root growth, cell function.
Carbon - Required for all organic compounds.
Calcium - Cell wall stability and permeability, enz...yme activation, cell response to stimuli.
Chlorine - Water and charge balance, photosynthesis.
Copper - Component of enzymes utilized in redox reactions that take place during photosynthesis.
Iron - Required for photosynthesis, component of enzymes utilized in redox reactions.
Magnesium - Component of chlorophyll, enzyme activation.
Manganese - Formation of amino acids, enzyme activation.
Molybdenum and Cobalt - Required for nitrate reduction.
Nickel - Enzyme activation, processing of nitrogenous material.
Sulfur - Component of proteins and the coenzymes that are involved with nutrient utilization and growth.
Zinc - Chlorophyll production, enzyme activation.

Note that Oxygen and Hydrogen are also required, but are available at all times through water
