So i have been fighting red wire algae for some time now, i have tried using different inverts and fish to remove it naturally, i have tried using hydrogen peroxide with mixed results, just tried using a wire brush attachment for my cordless drill and even that wasn't 100%.
So i was wondering if using a lighter and burning the algae would have any effect? I already gave it a try and it didn't seem to do much, however that doesn't mean it isn't dead, was just wondering if anyone tried this or not.
Attached a pic of the algae for reference.
