The spraying for FA will affect the phytoplankton, but only for a very short time - a week to two weeks then it will start growing back quickly. Follow the label directions on the algaecide. Some ponds can be treated all at once, others need 2 treatments if they have a lot of FA.

The treatment for FA has virtually no killing affect on underwater plants.
