Message: [QUOTE="GBBUDD, post: 529100, member: 10026"] In all seriousness with the hair / string algae. I have found myself renting space from one of the best pond stores I know of. It's in NY NY and they had just built a couple display ponds. Well two weeks ago I noticed the hair algae getting a bit heavy but being a new pond it was no surprise. Well I went to the display the other night and there was a drastic reduction in the algae. When I asked what they were doing I got the answer of barley straw extract per an aquadoser by Aquascapes. Now they have the large version that has room for two jugs and the second jug appeared to have Aquascapes additive called "Maintenance" And to my surprise last night when I walked up to the pond I found the hair algae was all but gone only a healthy coating of peach fuzz algae could be seen. I looked around for pressure washing streaks or vacuuming and there was neither. Wish I had tried it after all when I had started 7 years ago now. They crazy thing was it didn't just break off as it was not seen floating in the water or piled up at the base of the negative edge. [/QUOTE]
