String & Blanket Algae

String Algae and Blanket Algae are different than green water algae.  They do not pass through a UV so UVs do not work on it.  There are products, however, that are safe to use and work fine to kill it and help prevent it.

AlgaeFix
It's our little miracle for killing string algae.  It works without harming the fish or plants (when use as directed).  It does not, however, keep string algae from growing back.  We use barley as the preventative.

AlgaeFix
by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals
WOW!  IT ACTUALLY WORKS!  We've tested this product in our own ponds and it worked.  This is a "fix" and not a permanent solution to string algae and blanket weed.  Use in conjunction with barley bales for an overall great algae-fighting program.  Read more about it HERE.

Aerate heavily when using this product.
Sorry.  We cannot ship this product to Canada or anywhere outside the US.

Barley Bales & Barley Extract
AlgaeFix will kill whatever string algae is present in the pond when you treat it but it will not keep it from growing back.  Barley has an enzyme in it that retards the growth of string and blanket algae.  Small bales of barley can be placed where water will run through it (in the filter or waterfall or stream) and as it starts breaking down it releases the enzymes.  Barley extract works immediately.
