Question
Is there a product on the market that can get rid of algae on contact?  If so, can you please recommend one? My pond is starting to develope major algae, but the water is actually still clear.

Thanks in advance,
H.

Answer
I am personally against algaecides.  Most are toxic and can also hurt various plants and animals.  Any toxin like bleach will kill algae on contact but also will harm your pond!  The only algaecide I've used is AlgaeFix by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals(in a pond without any other life), and it is safer than others.  For natural tips for dealing with algae of various sorts, see my page at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/algae2.htm

Good luck!
