One of the best dishes here in Peru is Peruvian Ceviche. It is a form of citrus-marinated seafood appetizer made with raw fish, onion, lettuce, potato and many other ingredients. Some types of ceviche also include a kind of algae called Yuyo. This is how it is collected.
Cladaphora are freshwater algae that grow on submerged rocks, logs and other hard surfaces. Research has linked cladaphora blooms to high phosphorus levels resulting from fertilizing lawns, poorly maintained septic systems, inadequate sewage treatment, agricultural runoff, and detergents containing phosphorus.
PondZilla is very effective, when used as an adjunct to an algaecide or herbacide*, at controlling filmantous bacteria in ponds such as cladophora.
Aquafix created PondZilla utilizing the latest in enzyme technology to degrade 30-60% of pond muck at 1/10th the cost of physical cleaning*. Pondzilla helps degrade muck and sludge in lakes and ponds by activating the muck layer and stimulating bacterial activity. It contains surface-activating agents, which liberate pond muck and allow the active ingredients to speed up nature’s natural decomposition cycle. It works particularly well in ponds with filamentous problems.
*While bacterial products cannot kill aquatic plant growth, when used with algaecides or herbicides, they can help restore natural balance.

Today Wendy and I drove to Mimbres, NM with the RyanIsHungry crew.
They interviewed Asher Gelbart about his veggie oil life of WVO ad
biodiesel sales. Also about his goals of selling veg generated based
electricity back to the grid and algae production.
Lake Menomin in Menomonie Wisconsin was overwhelmed with a blue-green algae bloom that caused the water to become toxic.
bought me some "golden algae eaters" this past weekend, it should take care of the algae problem (I hope)
they're already doing a great job on it, the tank looks cleaner (and less green) already
picture is slightly out of focus though.... these little buggers are too skittish to be properly photographed!
Marine algae is an important local commodity, produced with repurposed plastic bottles as line floats
Wet & Forget is a non-caustic, non-acidic, gentle product that removes moss, mold, mildew, and algae from any outdoor surface!
Palette Spring, a terrace spring at Mammoth Hot Springs, is a spot of constant and rapid change.
The stepped landscape we see around Mammoth Hot Springs is formed by hot springs rich in calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate dissolves out of solution, forming travertine terraces.
Where water flows, thermophile algae grows, making for colorful displays. Where no water flows, no algae thrives and the travertine soon displays a bleached white color.
Pay attention as you drive up the road from Gardiner into Canyon at the cut road banks. You'll note that the entire hill has been formed of travertine deposits.
While the active spots at Mammoth Hot Springs have shifted, Mammoth is not, as many might assume at first glance, "drying out." The very action that builds terraces also plugs up the plumbing. When this happens, new springs pop out elsewhere. Right now there are very active terraces in the area, they just don't happen to be roadside.
Pick up a trail guide and take a walk and you'll be sure to find and enjoy them.
Palette Spring happens to be easily accessible by boardwalk just a hundred yards or so off the road and is quite active.
This photo displays a section of dried travertine but other photos already in my photostream and others that will be added later show the colors that give this terrace its name.
