Default Algaefix

Does anyone have a bottle of Algaefix on hand that wouldn't mind typing in
the ingredients? I'd like to know what the active and inactive ingredients
are.

Thanks, ~ jan

This is straight from the label:

Active Ingredient:
Poly(oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene
(dichloride): 4.50%
Inert Ingredient: 95.50%

Solves that mystery. Definitely an herbicide, so that means if you don't
know the exact size, gallon-wise, of your pond (and most people over
estimate 20-50%) you could easily overdose and kill higher plant forms
and/or aquatic critters. ~ jan

Not to mention, a carcinogen...
