For information on dealing with algae in aquariums (removing algae, algae-eating fish, chemicals, cloudy and green water, etc.), go to my aquarium algae page. I also have an algae-eating animals comparison table that is helpful.

On the pond talk page there is a lengthy discussion about the benefits of algae and other algae-related topics.

There is an article I wrote for a newsletter entitled "How to Have a Crystal Clear Pond Year Round" on my articles page.
