"ebruvold" wrote in message oups.com... snip But not sure it is helping! Or at least I can not noticeably see a difference. Is my only hope to drain the pond and start over? Should I have patience with the product I am using? Should I try something different (there seem to be a huge number of different concoctions out there - any objective reviews?) snip A few thoughts... 1. Dead algae is food for new algae 2. I would never put any algaecide into my pond with the exception of #3 3. You could try the blue dye tabs, which tint the water and cut down on algae by starving them of sunlight. 4. Draining and refilling, is just going to give the algae a nice new batch of water to work in and probably stress everything else. I wouldn't do it. 5. String algae can't be helped, just scoop it out. 6. More plants. Plants out compete algae 7. Patience 8. Get rid of your fish and chlorinate the pond...so no algae plants or other critters will ever call the pond home. -- BV Webporgmaster of iheartmypond.com http://www.iheartmypond.com Help IHeartMyPond.com, by doing all of your eBay shopping via our eBay Affiliate Link: http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-1609574-10357516.
