Q. My biofalls pond was full of algae last year so I emptied it and power washed the stones and gravel. Is there any fish and plant safe chemical I can use to kill off the remaining algae? (followed by rinsing and pumping out the rinase water.) Thanks.

A. AlgaeFix is a very effective algae treatment that is safe for use in ponds with fish and plants. However, you should try to establish a healthy pond ecosystem that limits algae growth. Use Microbe-Lift Spring/Summer Cleaner and Healthy Ponds bacteria for general water quality and Liquid Barley Straw Extract for string algae.
Happy Ponding!
