Re: My algae issues
Photo has been sent. The slurry is now more of a scattered mess, so it is disappating.
Re: My algae issues
Dunno what you've got. How much chlorine did you add, and what kind was it?

It was either a di- or tri-chloro product. It was 8 oz, I believe. This photo is an "after" photo...after adding 6 3 qt. bottles of chlorine. Originally, it looked like the foam on from a tap beer.

Re: My algae issues
My bet is that it was caused by the algaecide that he added. Some of those will cause foaming.

Re: My algae issues
Oops! Sorry about that. Glad to hear it is improving. This is one reason that the only algaecide that we recommend for use is 60% Polyquat and even at that, most times you don't need any algaecide at all.
