Algae Bar

[cbbode]

Anyone ever hear of an "Algae Bar" consisting of a short tubular rod
like bar with copper ends and silver middle?

It is advertised to be one solution to the problem of pond algae. I
bit and purchased one. After about a week my water did clear up and
has remained relatively clear since. I am not sure it is a result of
the $25 algae bar or the fact that plants, etc. gradually cleared the
pond up as would be expected in due course.

Has anyone else had experience with this product?

Every time I've had green water, it's cleared up within a week. It
*might* be due to me supplementing with potash. Or maybe not.

Copper is not good for fish!

If stuff like this wa a bona fide real problem solver it would be
sold in more places than an obscure website or late at night on TV.
They throw a lot of terminology that for the most part would go over
99.9% of peoples heads anyhow in actual truth if what thy say wold do
what they claim....I place it along with the Magic of the Piramid, The
Powers of Quartz, The Healing power of Magnets, The cure-all MelaFixx
and a whole host of other useless propaganda and junk

=========================
I wouldn't put copper in any tank or pond that contains fish. My ponds go
through the green water phase but it seldom lasts more than 2 weeks. I say
use the $25 for more pond plants and bypass this "Algae Bar."

OP should heed these opinions; it's not just the opinion held
here, but everywhere I've read...

Here's a search from the Google machine...

I went to algae bar once. Got really drunk on the stuff. Felt
sea-sick. I was blue-green for a day. Felt like scum.
