Default Flora APM to prevent algae?

It is for an aquarium. I wonder if I could put the straw in my filter? On
the other hand perhaps I will just try the product.

If it for a pond just go to your local pet shop, buy som pete straw (which
should be pesticide free). Put the straw as muchas you can into a pair of
ladies tights.
Tie up the end and submerge in pond.

Works a treat! Last all season, and can be used for compost in the autumn.

Has anybody out there tried Flora APM ? It is a barley extract that is

said
to prevent algae. It is not an algaecide, and I believe it is supposed

to
be
safe for plants and fish. I am thinking of trying it and would like to

hear
from anyone who has used it as to its effectiveness.
