I know we're hijacking this thread now, but I've started using CBD chewable on my two big dogs when their storm anxiety kicks in. That stuff is amazing. 60 seconds after eating one they're both layed out and chilled. Thought my lab was going to hyperventilate before I put him on it.

Back to the subject... I've tried using chemicals and while they worked to clear algae, they also killed anything else they got blown onto. Kind of frustrating when you are trying to get good plants going. The straw worked last year and my visibility increased to over 4 feet. When I pulled it out, the visibility started to decrease. I think it'll be a permanent fixture from now on.
