Algae recommendation, R E L A X!

If it is true string algae it will form a mat at the surface, at which time
it is called "blanket weed". That is when it should be lifted out, imo. The
stuff that is under the surface should be left alone, the more of it there
is the more nutrients it will use up and one day, it just slows down and
disappears. Algae types have their season, usually short lived if you don't
get carried away raking it out or killing it with chemicals. Any string
algae type is better than SUSPENDED (pea soup) ALGAE. ~ jan
