Bill,
Lyngbya is one of the toughest algae out there right now � and everyone from MI to FL is trying to find the silver bullet. No such thing thus far.
GreenCleanPRO can make a dent in this type of alga, but it may take several high rate treatments (90lbs/a-f PRO) once a bloom has occurred. The one thing that is promising (in preliminary studies at Clemson University) about treatments with GreenCleanPRO vs. other algaecides is that we seem to be working better as a preventative and as a longer solution once the algae has been killed off (no re-growth).
It may also be a situation where one might take the Kelly Duffie approach to a no win algae situation�use the GreenCleanPRO to raise the algae from the bottom and then skim it out or even dose it heavy at the surface.
When applying GreenCleanPRO, it is a fine granular product, and several different methods have been used in application � everything from hand spreaders and scoops to backpack blowers and liquid applications. The type of application method generally depends upon the situation. For Lyngbya, my feeling is that a granular application would be preferred in order to get the product to the bottom.
You should begin to see results within 60 seconds of application (see Kelly�s pictures). The algae will continue to die off for up to a week.
