Using algaecides ?? - 05/13/16 02:40 PM
Still having FA issues in my pond. Stocked 10 grass carp in November and 10 more yesterday. Someone suggested spraying K-Tea on surface when wind has blown FA into one corner of the pond.
Also suggested putting a pound of copper sulfate in a cheese cloth and tying to a piece of styrofoam and throwing in the pond so that it will float around the pond.
Have been reading about copper sulfate and K-Tea and some said that using copper sulfate can be bad for the pond and will eventually accumulate in the soil and kill microscopic snails, etc. Recomended using cutrine plus or ultra.
I am hoping that the grass carp will get the FA under control eventually and I will not have to use any chemicals. Anyone have any thoughts about spraying K-Tea on the surface accumulations or the copper sulfate in cheesecloth idea or alternatively using the cutrine?
Thanks
