FINALLY got my hands on some WH a bit ago. Darn things are a good 18

Anyway, how long before the three I got start really sucking up the
nutrients that are currently feeding my algae? (It's only about 70-80
gallons of pond...) The algae does make a really nice mulch around the
plants around the pond, though...

Hi Bryan,

Right away, though part of their anti-algae action is when they produce
more shading out the algae below. Btw, what is your pH? ~ jan
