Ooow, ouch, I wouldn't normally recommend herbicides, too easy to
overdose a small pond. Even though it says it is plant and fish safe,
I've seen plants fail to thrive in ponds using algaefix, another popular
algaecide for ponders. ~ jan


I certainly wouldn't recommend Copper Sulfate to the home ponder!


Is the Copper in this stuff a different (safer?) compound? ~ jan
