Jen it sure will work in a buth-tub pond! Just put in a tied up bundle, say
9" long and as thick as your wrist.
PS
Thanks Jonno, much appreciated.

Fishlover asked this a time back.
"Has anybody tried Phoslock for getting rid of green algae in
fishponds?"

Well after reading the various responses in particular the one about
Hay,
I
drove down a dirt track in the Hawkesbury and cut some wild oat hay.
Obvoiously seeded from passing trucks. Didn't know how much but I tied
3
bundles about 9" long half as thick as my wrist. The surface area is
approx
2 square metres with various depths from beach to 60cm. It was pea
green,
bloody awful. Seven days have apassed and I can now see the various
depths.
Magic! Still has a bit to go but I have no doubt it is working.
It has a couple of small Koi, haundreds of relocated small river fish
and
4
frogs. About a thousand taddies in smal buckets about the garden; spawn
taken prior to a smorgasbord for fish.

Could this be done in a small pond (i.e. old bathtub)?

Thanks

Jen
