Algae been gone!
Best stuff to get rid algae and to keep it away. I put the smallest amount of algae away in my lotus water which is about 5 gallons water, a month ago and there has been no algae in the water. Crystal clear. I’m writing this review away from home or I would have taken a picture for the review.

Works wonders
I only used a small amount for my 40 and 20 gal fresh water fish tanks. They had an algae bloom. Water was dark green, after one use. It totally cleared up the next day, safe for plants, fish and snails.

Game changer on Algae Products
I have a 1000 gallon pond. It suddenly had a bad algae problem for two YEARS. Killed all my koi but two. We tried everything under the sun. This was my last try on a product before I was going to fill pond in. This is amazing. Works quick and my two surviving kois are fine now. I stock up on it now. If you use in im miniscule doses as preventive its great too. What a find.

Entirely useless, but go ahead and purchase it if you want to help the company out.
Unlike others that have tricked themselves into thinking this works the fact is, tested both under laboratory conditions and in an actual pond exactly according to the directions, it did absolutely nothing. I repeated it over and over, then doubled the dose. Zero. No change in the clarity of the water, zero reduction of algae. Period. In ten days. Go ahead, give them another sale they appear desperate to generate an income. Note for those that think it worked. 1) Because you did “something else” at the same time as you poured this water into your fish tank your opinion of the product is rendered useless.So what you see in the reviews is people that *also* either shut all light from reaching the water for several days, or flushed a sand filter, or did a water change, or changed a filter, or covered the pond with vegetation, or it was cloudy, or any of a dozen other things over ten days that can/could/would reduce algae (including simply time passing) THEN attributed it to the chemical when they finally saw a result. I never achieved the slightest result in the laboratory either, diluted to the level they recommend and tracking a dozen test tubes day after day, the algae either increased or remained unchanged.

Good for the algae in turtle tanks
James –
Not for crustaceans.
If you have shrimp, crabs, snails, crayfish, etc. do not buy this. If you have a tank thatâs ONLY fish, then this does work well. Decent price and does its job. Kills algae. Wonât kill your fish. Easy to use and understand. Just do not use with any shell fish please

Only works on some algae
Works very fast on fluffy green algae that floats around. Doesn’t work on fuzzy algae growing on plants. Also, be careful about shaking the bottle — It seems the lid isn’t that tight, and I got it all over my hands, which is scary after reading the safety info on the bottle. And if you have a tank smaller than 30 gallon, you will need a dropper of some kind.According to my AI source, the active ingredient, Poly (oxyethylene) (dimethylimino) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride, is a cationic polymeric algaecide used to control algae growth in swimming pools and ponds. It is effective against both free-floating green algae and black algae that cling to surfaces. Unlike copper-based algaecides, it does not bioaccumulate and is considered more eco-friendly.I still need something that will kill my fuzz algae.
