Citrine Plus and all algie killers will harm your fish expecally their breeding cycles. I know of several ponds that the poisons have totally killed the fish. If its not distributed evenly, when the water is cool. And the gallons to poison ratio is not exact you will risk loosing everytrhing. If you want to stop algae growth for good the only way to do it is to first cheak the PH levels in your pond they are probably way to acidic from years of organic roting in the bottom. So you are just killing acid with more poison. I have a pond with only a rimm of algae two feet around the edge. This is good it will provide cover for your bass, and especally the babies. They will feel happy. To stop the algae from covering your pond you need to first know how deep your pond is. I am guessing it is two feet deep. Or at least in some areas. Hair algae will constantly grow from the bottom. You will not stop this even with poison. The hair algae will come back a month later. You will need to rent a small tractor and dig the shallow spots at least four feet deep. Make the sides steep. Rental places will rent you a tractor for a day for two hundred bucks. Plant some small reeds to controll the erosion. And maybe a few small trees for shade. To decrease the acid levels throw in a peace of fresh cement. The lime will lower the acid levels. You will never have to worry about algae again. Garanteed!
