It there a safe algae cide to add to turtle ponds? I having problems with green water in my snappers pond . Making me crazy . I have a sand filter I can add to it if I have to .
Do you know the name of it Yvonne?I have always (at least once a year) used over the counter algaecide for my pond and I have quite a few turtles in there. I've never had a fish or turtle die-off.
You remember where you got it?No. I usually use up the bottle and toss it. It may have been Tetra or Tetra Pond or something like that.
Of course, the level of toxicity is not enough apparently if you use correctly against fish or turtle. But all algaecide usually have harmful effect to living cells and can be irritant to fish or turtle. Of course it won't kill them, but I would rather not use it.I have always (at least once a year) used over the counter algaecide for my pond and I have quite a few turtles in there.
