How do I get ride of string algae?
There are a couple ways to get ride of string algae. The first would be the use of Green Clean or AgaeFix . These are additives you put in the water that help destroy the string algae. Secondly if string algae is on your stream area, the water can be turned of during night hours and table salt applied directly to the string algae. Simply leave on over night and in the morning turn back on the water this will wash the salt into the pond and the string algae will be dead. The Pond Salt we carry can be used and is safe for fish and plants. It is important not to use to much salt. 2# per 100 gallons of water is good for the fish in your pond it helps build up there slim coat. Please keep this in mind when treating your string algae.
