Stocking tilapia will only help when the water temperature is greater than 65 degrees. None will live for very long in mid to low 50 degree water, and they really like 75°F or greater water temp.

Applying algaecide needs to be done according to the label instructions. If not following the label, your results are a gamble, and I've known people to kill fish with it.

Make sure you have algae and not macrophytes that you are trying to kill with the algaecide.

You can send a water sample out to be tested for nutrient levels. That will tell you where you have to fight your battles.
