Thank you.
The first responder said he wasnt sure.

Im new to all this so I have no clue.
It's doubling in size over night. My pond is new.

So will Cutrene do the job?

I need to get rid of it. It's ugly, makes the pond look ugly.

thank you in advance. Thanks in advance and don't be pissed off at me.
Im freaking out over this crap. New pond , havent had it filled for a week and this.

Also, I have a 1/2 horsepower rocking piston Aerator on the way, with 3 diffusers. Will this help in ridding the pond of this nuisance?
