## 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: works when you follow the directions - seems to work well, I had been experiencing some algae in my largest aquarium after changing some plants with somebody. Lesson learned, I’ve been able to deal with all other types of allergy but whatever I had was just stubborn and was out competing all of my other plants. I used this as directed and I pretty much have eradicated the problem at this point, I also use this pretty inconsistently I will say so it took multiple attempts of actually trying to dose it appropriately but I got there eventually. There’s no odor, it doesn’t make the water cloudy for the first 24 hours but it’s just doing its job. I’d say it’s a good value for money, and I like having this on deck in my arsenal of aquarium products. It did not harm my fish at all when dosed appropriately.
Review: Clears tank right up - This stuff is AWESOME!!! My 55 gallon tank was solid green to where you couldn't even see the fish in my tank, after treating it one time with this amazing product, my tank was crystal clear. The water went from dark green to crystal clear in 1 hour. Amazing!! Will definitely buy this product again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 24 hrs of darkness clear water
*by G***S on June 2, 2026*

At first it didn’t work, water stayed green, did a 50% water change when moving houses and did two applications, at one point keeping all lights off for 24 hrs, worked like a charm, crystal clear water now. A+
