Using an algae destroyer is easy. All you have to do is follow the easy directions on the label of the algae destroyer. You will need to know how many gallons of water your pond, pool, or aquarium has before you can determine how much algae destroyer to use. Some people are of the mistaken view that using too much algae destroyer is a good way to help severe cases of algae, but too much can harm fishes. Those who leave negative feedback about a type of algae destroyer often have bad experiences simply because they failed to follow the directions.
These algae live in near boiling water near the fault line that runs through New Zealand. Almost looks like an aerial shot of a delta but the "lake" is less than a meter long.

some of the former salt ponds have terrible water circulation at this point, leading to these large algae blooms which can kill off any fish or shrimp living in the pond. an egret here seems to be after something, though...
PLEASE NOTE: I've put two of my most favorited images up for auction to help donate money to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort -- please click on these links to register bids for sail under golden gate bridge (high bid currently $50) and silver boatwake (high bid currently $100) -- bidding ends Sept 15
A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames
this is the flora responsible for the breakdown of one of the most unique coastlines in North America. It's eating it little by little.. mmmm

Hidden away behind too many unfriendly gates, the German Food Additives Museum is one of those rare places that makes you think about what are we consuming every day. We left the museum wondering about everything that presented and how people should know more about it. This is what made this museum so fascinating.
The German Food Additives Museum tries to shine a light on a large number of additives that are hidden away in the food that we eat daily. From dyes to emulsifiers, stabilizers to preservatives, everything that we eat has some unnatural chemical that is pretty much unknown to the average consumer.
a green algae, growing free here but also occurs as photobiont is some lichens

We have excessive algae grow problem due to the low water flow caused by drought. Algae removal will improve the dissolved oxygen level and improve the water quality.
Pictured is a small stream with green algae (Chlorophyta) covering the rocks. This picture was taken in the afternoon, on the Weber State University campus in Ogden, Utah on September, 18 2018. Algae seems very boring but it is actually an incredibly important part of an ecosystem. Apart from being a primary producer and the base of the food web, algae also plays a critical role in its habitats such as helping to clean the water by absorbing heavy metals and other nutrients. It also produces oxygen as a product of photosynthesis, and fixes nitrogen so that it's available for other organisms in the nutrient cycle. Algae can also be an indicator of the health of an aquatic system. Because of its sensitivity to changes in temperature and pH, careful monitoring of algae can reveal changes that have taken place in the water. Unfortunately, an excess of nutrients from things like land runoff can cause an algal bloom which can cause serious problems for the aquatic environment as it not only blocks light from everything underneath it, it also uses up a substantial amount of oxygen in the water. After dying, the algae will sink to the bottom of the body of water and use up even more of the water's oxygen in the decomposition process.

Algae on the petite anubia nana. I am trying to decide if I should toss this slow growing plant or try to nurture it until the algae is gone. Any suggestions?
Unidentified species of brown algae (?). Similar to sea cauliflower (Leathesia spp.) but some specimens are distinctly globular. Possibly young Soranthera spp. (?) although many do not appear to have the distinct studs that give them the name "studded sea balloon". Possibly several species or stages.
