Re: Green water

Algae Destroyer is different. That contains Simazine, a different chemical.
People also use copper compounds for killing algae, and there is some use of
hydrogen peroxide for some species.

I've heard a lot of people complaining about green water lately. I think
Kate had some good comments there. Dealing with these algae blooms often
requires a lot of experimenting to limit the "causes." Also once it is
established it tends to recycle itself. That is, cells that die nurish new
cells.

Something that might be worth a try would be Sandu's technique of putting in
a bunch of Water Sprite to use up nutrients and block light.
