Hi,
Here is some algae reduction info I wanted to share. The most interesting, inexpensive, non-evasive treatment is the Barley Straw. We don’t have fish, so the adverse effects seem to not apply. However, fish are a solution to use for algae removal as well. But in this heat we may have dead fish and more issues stem from that. These articles are not new and I will continue to research for recent info.
Aeration also appears to have benefits, I will be working to implement that solution soon. We may need to look into a temporary power supply until we can permanently have power in statlled.
