Would also appreciate good advice. Have tried garden raking a smallish pond
and even fish nets. I guess, like weeding, it is a continuing problem for some
of us, through the growing seasons.

As a fishkeeper, I always try to avoid adding chemicals and instead look at
all the possible causes. Maybe a tank is getting too much light, or maybe my
tap water is high in phosphates and I need to start with a different source.
You could also try using an algae scrubber mitt and then syphon it out into a
bucket.

Subject: [birdky] Algaecide for bird baths
I'm trying to find a way to control algae in our bird bath, either
organically or not. I've reviewed a lot of products but I haven't found
anything that says it controls algae while being safe for the birds. I've
seen some posts about using vinegar (white or apple cider) and bleach (god
forbid).
Has anyone had any success using vinegar or any of the commercial products on
the market. Is it safe for the birds? Has anyone found a commercial products
that is safe and effective?
Thanks in advance.
