I've tried barely straw and found it to be totally ineffective. I guess
some people report that it works - maybe in a warm climate. I put bags of it in my pond here in Colorado, and the string algae is growing on the bags! Dr. John "elaine" wrote in message . .. We are still fighting the green pond thing although the water is clearing a bit, thanks in part to something from Laguna that is supposed to make the suspended alagae clump therefore making it easier for your filter to grab. Not a big fan of the chemical thing, but since it said nothing about killing the algae I figured I would let the SO have his way and try it. The LFS has bags of Barley straw pellets on sale that I would like to try but the SO says that the tannins in it will turn the pond brown? I had never heard this but this whole pond thing is new to me. Thanks for the help Elaine |
