Filled my pond again this year and I have an algae problem?

Question

I have a small pond which is in the sun for about 6 hours a day. I have a serious algae problem. I tried barley when the water was clear, but I got a bloom anyway. I have some commercial algae control stuff from last year, but it will not work. I assume it has lost its effectiveness b/c it worked like a charm last year.

I can't get out to get some more. Does anyone have a home remedy for algae in the pond?

Answer 1

S.A.B. or String algae buster is what you want to use. It is expensive but works extremely well.  The trick to using the product is to do about 3-5 applications.  It is made by Aquascape ECOsystems.

You can find SAB at most garden nurseries rarely at the big box stores.
