    Q
    Can you use Cutrine Plus Algaecide in a saltwater pool to kill marine macro algae?
    I am looking for a product to kill green macro algae at the bottom of a saltwater exhibit. Would this product be helpful? Thanks.
    A

    No, Cutrine Plus Algaecide is designed for use in large bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, and reservoirs and not in small containerized water. Usually salt water tanks will need to be cleaned thoroughly and the nutrient levels in the water may need to be adjusted to reduce the likelihood of growth of the algae. We would recommend trying to identify what specific algae you need to treat for the best recommendation.

  • Asked by Sylvia from Moreland, Georgia

    Q
    Can Cutrine Plus be used in 500 gal ponds without harm to fish and plants? If so how much to use.
    Water is clear but algae grows on bottom gravel and rock. Green water tint about every 3 days so I'm doing about a 50% water change weekly. Fish and plants are present. Water fall and 4 aquascape aerators in pond. 500 + gallon pond. Can Cutrine Plus be used in my pond?
    A

    Cutrine Plus Algaecide can be used in ponds and lakes to help control different types of algae, except if you have trout, koi fish and hybrid goldfish, Cutrine Plus Algaecide is toxic to these types of fish. We recommend to treat 1/2 of your pond first and wait 14 days to treat the other 1/2 of the pond to avoid fish suffocation caused by oxygen depletion from decaying algae.
