Razberry910 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Has anyone delt with waternet algae before? Several of my summer totes have a large amount of it. I've found live and dead fry/juviles stuck in it this summer. I'll attach pics. This Algae makes a perfect little net in the water. I did manually remove some today freeing little fish as I pulled it out. According some research from Tennessee it forms in High alkaline ponds. I did add a bit of crushed coral to the totes this year I'm not sure if that would make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I've never looked closely, but Waternet Algae might be part of what I just refer to it as pond scum in my pond. Algaecides don't seem to affect it. It does seem to keep the Duckweed in check. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but a quick read would indicate that Waternet algae likes nutrient rich alkaline water. So using crushed coral might be going in the wrong direction.
