Here’s the complete scoop on Kenko Fusion Fix for aquariums — 

1. First, Kenko Fusion Fix

What people often call an “algae-fix” is actually an all-in-1 nutrient formula designed to:

• Give plants the nutrients they need in the right balance

• Avoid excess nutrients that algae can exploit

• Outcompete algae by promoting strong, healthy plant growth

So, the “algae fix” part is indirect — it’s about plant competition, not poisoning algae.

2. How It Works Against Algae

1. Balanced NPK & micros → No single nutrient in large excess, which prevents algae-triggering imbalances.

2. Steady dosing → Prevents nutrient swings that stress plants and allow algae to bloom.

3. Supports plant health → Healthy plants outcompete algae for light and nutrients.

4. May be paired with liquid carbon → Some all-in-1 products add glutaraldehyde (a mild algaecide) which helps control certain algae like black beard algae.

4. Benefits

• Cleaner tank look without harsh chemicals.

• One product instead of multiple bottles.

• Algae prevention through plant competition, not killing algae outright.

• Works well in low-tech and high-tech planted aquariums.

5. Best Practices to Maximize Algae Control

1. Match lighting to plant demand — avoid excessive light without enough plants or nutrients.

2. Keep CO₂ stable (if used) — fluctuating CO₂ can trigger algae faster than excess nutrients.

3. Plant heavily at the start — fast growers like stem plants or floaters help starve algae.

4. Regular water changes — export excess nutrients algae might use.

5. Manual removal + spot treatments for any existing algae patches.

💡 Pro Tip: If your goal is both plant nutrition and algae prevention, pick Kenko Fusion Fix that has a mild carbon-based algae suppressant built in — that way you feed plants and keep algae in check without separate bottles.
