If it is true string algae it will form a mat at the surface, at which time
it is called "blanket weed". That is when it should be lifted out, imo.


I lift out the blanket weed until it gets full of snails. Then, I think
it is better to not loose the snails and let them dispose of the blanket
weed. It works for me.
