Pond foam

[Guest]

Hair algae, string algae, same thing, bloody bane of my ponding existance!!! I hate the stuff, and barley straw USED to work on it, seems to no longer have any effect. I have a big bottle of Algaefix (which really goes against my wishes to not use chemicals) but have been putting off trying it.

Why does a proper level of plants not kill the stuff off?

Here are two pics of the green stringy stuff. Drive me nuts. It was not there Monday night after I cleaned it up, washed the filter components (pad, lavarock, bag)... now look at it... stringin' along! If I could be certain the algaefix would just eliminate the crap from the falls, I would be happy... but I don't wanna disturb what is on the bottom of the pond because the fish are chowin' on it.

I have always found bleach to be a good remedy for algae....or anything else alive in the pond for that matter!


(For those few who many think I'm serious....That was a joke. )
