Is this effective on the algae or "moss" that grows on the bottom, floats to the top, and scums up my pound around the edges? Thanks.

i think it will not work because the pond water will dilute it and make it useless and it will be bad for the aquatic life ,,

I have a couple low-light plants in it and they do ok- I get some light from a window a little ways away, but not a lot. I wouldn't get anything that requires a decent amount of light unless you have good lighting coming from a window etc as well. I also don't have algae problems, but I have some small snails too.My light actually still works, I've had it like a year and use the light every day. I did change the filter and am much happier with a different filter.

I had algae on bottom of pool and it has removed it. Dirt etc. But, if you have black algae or the kind that needs to be scrubbed off, this will not do it... It has no scrub brushes... just suction.

Not really. It is really thin, really watery thin. I have used it to fortify punky wood, the spaces between the stones however, kinda big? But I have never tried it so I am probably not the one for advice.

I suggest putting algicide and chlorine in your pool to kill whatever it is that growing. This pool cleaner picks up everything on the bottom. I have never had an algae problem so I can't say that it will clean it off your pool.

In my 70 gallon freshwater tank, after using Flourish, I noticed elimination of green and brown algae, but I have a bluish grey green hairy algae that still grows on a few leaves of my plants. I did get some Otto Catfish and they're eating the algae but you'd probably need 6 or 7 of these to keep the tank under control.

In my pond string algae grows quickly on the falls and on the rocks around the waters edge if I don't do the fallowing. I shut off the falls sprinkle Green Clean powder directly on the algae and wait about an hour then turn on the falls. This kills it. (I don't think Microbe Lift is intended to kill algae.) Then I put in Microbe Lift which keeps my water really clear and seems to retard the growth of new algae. I do this about every two weeks and it keeps my pond looking great.

Ihaven't had to remove pebbles or stones. It does well on bugs, but not algae and i have the "fine" filter bag that is supposed to remove algae.

Definitely not live algae. This has no brushes and algae tends to stick a bit even when it's been killed. Even my more expensive Aquabot with brushes has a tough time with algae. As I said in my review this is best used for large and/or loose debris.

The Fluval edge gravel cleaner works very well in my 6 gallon aquarium, the flow works using gravity. I am very pleased for the purpose I am using it. I would not suggest it for an aquarium that is much larger.

We had no success fighting algae with this product. It makes the water very clear otherwise. We bought a copper ionizer this year to fight string algae and so far it's seemed to work fine. We've had terrible string algae in the past

Yes it works great and does not hurt the fish. I have used it yearly for 11 years to kill the weeds. We swim and fish and have dogs in it , no problem. Mine is large 3/4 acre and 25 feet deep. Just do half of the pond at a time if you have fish as it sucks the oxygen out of the water, and make sure you don't get it on anything else, as it will kill it.

It will probably do well with the green moss. I didn't have as much luck with the black mold, but I've heard of others where it worked but took up to 6 months.

It will rid you of the green (algae) water but it wont rid you of algae attached to the rocks and glass. Anything that gets sucked through it will die

Mine doesn't float, it's flush with its base. As long as your foam block is still completely submerged by water and your filter intake is working, you shouldn't have a problem. Are you using a water test kit? If not, I highly suggest the API Master Test Kit. It measures levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate in your tank to make sure they are not exceeding toxic and potentially fatal levels in your tank. Keep testing your water and if your levels are OK, your foam block is doing it's job.

My pond is an 800 (plus/minus) gallon pond. The filter did an amazing job. The UV light kept the algae at bay. My pond gets 50% sun. It stayed crystal clear all season. If you have a full sun pond, I could only guess that the UV should handle it.

I haven't had any issue with algae buildup. I do clean the fountain about once a week though.
