  17. a little late to the reply but try dosing hydrogen peroxide In the case of blue-green algae: Use 1.5 to a maximum of 2.5 ml of the 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. In the case of green algae: 20.25 ml to a maximum of 32.5 ml of the 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide per 13 gallons of water. this always knocked it back for me until I got a handle on the root cause usually in my case over feeding Mike
