the water is green and seams worse after a rain.

post i think i want to us a Peroxygen product.
first question... is this planktonic algae, blue green algae or does it even matter as far as treatment goes?
second question, there is such a large range on how much to put in my pond. green clean pro suggests 20-90lbs per acre foot for heavy growth and 2-9lbs for maintenance. pak27 suggests 3-100lbs per acre foot. I'm not sure how severe the problem is, do you have a recommendation on how much to apply? should i use several doses?
