Re: [GSAS-Member] Remove Hair Algae from Wood

Sounds like a lot of Hydrogen Peroxide to dump in a pond. 100 ounces for a 1000 
gal pound. Good thing it is relatively cheap. Would be interested to know the 
results. Especially if there are fish in the pond

Sorry to be so slow responding to this thread.  I use an algae control
method recommended by a NANFA member.  She is a native aquatic plants expert
(PhD). She recommends a treatment of 1oz per 10 gallons hydrogen peroxide
every two weeks.  This is the stuff you get off the shelf at Safeway.  Do a
20% (or more) water change before each re-treatment.  

I have used this method on several tanks without non-algal or animal loss.
It will actually remove the algae from the leaves of plants.  I plan to try
this treatment on a pond within 2 weeks.  I will let you know the results as
soon as I know.

Hello There,

 

Is there any secret strategy for removing thick hair algae from wood pieces?
So far I have just used rubbing and a toothbrush but that is really slow
going.

 

Thanks

Shango
