Algone and Algaefix - easy way to get rid of algae

If you are suffering from terrible algae problem like the picture on the left, and do not wish to resort to methods such as black out or willow branches, let me introduce you to Algone. I personally tried it before and the result is amazing. The basic idea is that it get rid of nitrite and ammonia. I do not know exactly how they do it, but the result is really fanastic. My fishes and plants do not seems to suffer from any side effect after using it. Its only $15 bucks and came with 6packets. Check out www.algone.com/ if you want to read more about it.

Another great product is the Algaefix, it is also very efficient in greating rid of algae but usually in pond. AlgaeFix is very effective against Greenwater algae blooms. Sometimes the water may be so green that fish cannot be seen. AlgaeFix also controls filamentous algae commonly known as hair algae. Algae growth in ponds can appear as green water blooms, filamentous algae on plants, and floating algae mats. Algae may also grow on rocks, fountains, and waterfalls. The logic behind it is that it binds to protein in the cell membrane of the algae, disrupting the flow of nutrients and ions across the cell membrane. People might ask will they kill my plants too? I tried this before, used it on my uncle's pond before as well, all the plants and fishes are still healthy.
