    I've spent a lot of hours and calories on raking/dragging the filamentateous algae out of my ponds. Although I still do it from time to time, my number one approach is to stay ahead of it with blue dye, and I've had the best luck with Aquashade. It's not a great solution if you have a lot of water exchange, and it takes longer than Cutrine, but if you stay ahead of things it's a great solution. Really glad to hear your comment about limited treatment with Cutrine, I've witnessed two very severe fish kills with over application of Cutrine and also copper sulfate granules. Be careful!

    We've used Aquashade also, and like you, have had some success with it. Yeah, manually removing FA is backbreaking work! Absolutely agree on the necessity of treating sections at a time.... bad things can happen if you're too impatient! Thanks for the comment!
