Ok. Got ahold of the phycomycin (by cygnet) and spread a little bit out today. Few questions about it now:

- How does it work? Does it mix with the water and is effective everywhere after it dissolves, or does it pretty much only effect the area that it is placed? I went easy with it for now. The bag directions say anywhere from 2.5#/acre to 100#/acre. Big swing there!

- Does this also kill a Phytoplankton bloom if there is one going? If so I will make sure not to apply any when I think the conditions are right for one.

edit--From Bill C "Sodium percarbonate acts by oxidizing the skin on the algae while releasing oxygen." I don't really get this in regards to how does it work. Algae takes it in thru the water? Contact? etc?
