    There is no way to know how long it will take to break down that algaecide. I wouldn't suggest adding the defoamer. Sometimes you create a vicious cycle -- adding product #2 to fix the problems caused by adding product #1, adding product #3 to fix the problems caused by adding product #2, ........

    Give the chlorine time to clear it and keep your filter running. What type and size of filter do you have and what size of pump?

    Running very high chlorine levels will break the algaecide down faster . . . and help eradicate the algae you were trying to deal with in the first place.

    But . . . you need to read the "Best Guess" page linked in my signature, to understand what "really high levels of chlorine" means in practice . . . and then you'll need to read the test kit info page (also in my sig) so you can actually act on that knowledge.
