## Description

Maintain a crystal-clear, algae-free aquarium or pond with MICROBE-LIFT Algaway 5.4, a top-rated algaecide for aquariums and ornamental ponds. This powerful algae remover for aquariums targets unsightly green water, string algae, and hair algae without harming fish or ornamental plants. Safe for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, it’s ideal for use in tanks, fountains, and enclosed ponds without outflow. Unlike harsh treatments, this aquarium algae killer supports healthy water conditions, improving clarity, oxygen levels, and overall fish behavior. Algaway 5.4 is reef-safe and won’t affect corals, sea anemones, feather dusters, or other invertebrates in marine environments. For best results, apply near the filter outflow and repeat every three days until the algae is controlled. Remove dead algae promptly to reduce organic waste. While it is safe for most aquarium inhabitants, it is not safe for snails, shrimp, clams, or other freshwater crustaceans or mollusks. Registered with the US EPA for safety and reliability, Algaway 5.4 is the trusted solution for reliable algae control.

Review: Algae remover - This product seems to work as stated, I have applied 2 applications and my tanks are crystal clear with no signs the algae has reappeared. Price was good and delivery was quick.
Review: Fantastic, but be careful of how much you use - Works great very quickly. But please be very cautious with the dosage because it can harm your fish if you didn’t use properly. I would even recommend using less than the recommended dosage on the bottle, for example if the bottle says 1/2 tsp i would put 1/4 and give it couple days. I also recommend doing a 20-30% water change after the water clears up. I used it in my 5 gallon tank and I redid the math to know exactly how much i need to put. For 5 gallon tank i used a little under 0.5ml. My water never looked that clear. It works instantly to clear green water. Use only when needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Algae remover
*by D***N on December 19, 2025*

This product seems to work as stated, I have applied 2 applications and my tanks are crystal clear with no signs the algae has reappeared. Price was good and delivery was quick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, but be careful of how much you use
*by A***I on November 8, 2025*

Works great very quickly. But please be very cautious with the dosage because it can harm your fish if you didn’t use properly. I would even recommend using less than the recommended dosage on the bottle, for example if the bottle says 1/2 tsp i would put 1/4 and give it couple days. I also recommend doing a 20-30% water change after the water clears up. I used it in my 5 gallon tank and I redid the math to know exactly how much i need to put. For 5 gallon tank i used a little under 0.5ml. My water never looked that clear. It works instantly to clear green water. Use only when needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes water clearer, not a substitute for water changes
*by M***T on November 16, 2025*

I just got the product, and have only used in once. After about an hour, I started to see great results. I have a 55g tank about 3/4 filled up for a couple small turtles and feeder fish. Even after water changes, I could only see a couple inches into the tank. I can now see all the way thru the tank. I am hoping a fresh water change will make the water nice in clean/clear. I would strongly recommend. Will update if needed should ling terms results change my review
