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.

Dosing:

100mL

Only dose this product in the morning when lights are on; please ensure that your aquarium is properly oxygenated. Before using, a 30-40% water change is recommended. Slowly add 16 drops per 10L or 2.6 US gal, then slowly add 4 drops per 10L or 2.6 US gal every second day for 1-3 weeks. If Black Beard Algae is still present, then a longer duration may be necessary. However, it is advised that extra careful attention to detail is paid to your aquarium during that time. If at any time, your inhabitants show signs of stress, a 30-40% water change is recommended.

Received giftcard money to replace my plan-protected malfunctioning motherboard
I've been subscribing to the Asurion protection plan for a while. Recently, an Asus Prime PC motherboard I had bought a few months ago on Amazon stopped working well. I ended up considering filing a claim with Asurion to see if they would either fix/replace it or issue the purchase price money, so I could buy the failed electronics replacement component again for my custom-built PC. I went to the protection plan's website and started the claim filing process but couldn't find the category my failed component would be under in order to select it from the drop-down list. I ended up messaging the live customer service. The chat messaging was somewhat slow, the agent told me they were experiencing some communication delays throughout their systems. Ultimately, the agent was very kind and understanding, and completed the claim filing process for me on her side by asking me to provide the necessary info such as the item's product name, date of purchase, price before taxes, etc. I received a printable UPS shipping label in the email, printed it, and returned the item in the mail. Approximately 2 days later, I received an Amazon giftcard code in the email with the dollar amount equal to the item's price before the sales tax. Then I redeemed the giftcard code on the Amazon page and proceeded to apply the giftcard money to my next purchase of a replacement Asus prime motherboard, and it all worked out successfully. Therefore, I had no issues with the protection plan service and recommend it to others.

Fast and easy but I dont trust the process to be fully automated.
The process was very smooth and fairly quick. The only challenge I had was that the CLAIM status showed complete but I had to manually go look up the status. There was no email or notification it was closed. After manually checking the status, I called customer support and they said since I called in, they would process the payout. I wonder if I didnt call in if they would have processed it? Also, the phone rep said they would issue me a amazon egift card but then the next day I received a email saying they mailed out the payout. Very poor communication but so far the process was easy and fast.

Nice functional printer at a low price-point
Style: WF-3820
At this price-point, the WF-3820 is a winner for a home printer with not much printing volume. It prints well. It was easy to set up the printer and wireless printing from a couple of computers. It uses ink cartridges. While Epson goes to great lengths to advertise/tout its cartridge-free printer models, if you don't print a lot this unit will do fine for you. Did I mention that it's relatively cheap? Has a fax function, but I don't have a landline anymore. It is a bit tall, and you have to open the scanner to access the ink cartridges; so beware if you're putting it in a cabinet or shelf without some decent head room.

Good Printer
Style: WF-3820
Given the 'not so good' reviews, I was a little apprehensive to buy this printer at first. This replaces a WF3620, in which I was very happy with its performance. But the print head began to print only Yellow and Black, and several attempts to 'unclog' the Cyan and Magenta nossles proved unsuccessful. But, I am very happy with the WF3820 - both with the price and the performance. It is faster and the graphics are clear and sharp. The 'jury' is still out on how much toner it uses, but suspect it is around the same as with the WF3620. If so, then I will retain my 5 Star rating.

Good printer ... Until Epson bricked it with Firmware
Style: WF-3820
Bought this as a replacement for a small office HP that died on us. It is a good machine. Nice features at a reasonable cost. Good color, full duplex, excellent scanning, and reasonable speed. The drivers are fairly crappy in that they constantly want to update and are poorly written and appear to send too much data home. (max out two cores on a modern i7 for a tiny printer driver update.) Overall a good machine and excellent for the price. Epson ink is ridiculously priced so went with high quality refurbished ink cartridges. Worked great at a good price. Fast forward to July 2022. Epson pushes firmware update for "performance, stability, and security updates" that seems harmless. Who doesn't install newer firmware when it is offered? After the firmware update the printer claimed that the ink cartridges were faulty and refused to function. Turns out that the printer is now a brick until I buy genuine Epson ink refills at an exorbitant price. Turns out the company has had a number of class actions against them in the past for this very shady practice. Time to write up some copy for social media and contact a lawyer. It should be illegal to remove capabilities from a product that has been bought and paid for and working for months. Certainly I will never buy another Epson product and neither will anyone at my company.
