Message: [QUOTE="JohnHuff, post: 211247, member: 4156"] I don't agree with using algaecide. Why is algae there? It only blooms if there is nutrients in the water. No nutrients, no algae. So what's in the water that's feeding the algae? Remove that and you've taken care of 1/2 your problem. My worse times with algae has been when my pump has been down. Usually at the end of Winter. Usually what I do is vacuum and manually remove as much algae as I can, do a water change and start my pumps. My pump has 4 prefilters that suck up the algae and once I get rid of it, it usually doesn't come back again. [/QUOTE]
