string algae reference
Some of our rec.ponders have used and liked String Algae Buster so I went and
looked it up on google. Found this article at http://www.nfkc.info/barbels008.htm and it said that it works by - " forcing the strands of string algae to take in excess calcium from the surrounding water. When the algae absorbs this calcium, the strands break off, floating to the surface. Once they separate, they will either go into the skimmer, or be easily weeded out by hand". It also pointed out that too much string algae seems to go hand in hand with the usual villians that cause suspended (green water) algae - too many fish, too much food, too little plants. And that still has to be remedied. So I added it to the green water primer. kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |
