    Q
    Does Cutrine Plus work for naiad?
    A

    Cutrine Plus Algaecide is not labeled for naiad it is for algae only.  You may want to consider a product like Diquat instead, which is labeled for Naiad (another name for bushy pond weed).

    08/06/2021
    Q
    Is Cutrine Plus Algaecide the right product for a small concrete fountain?
    I have a concrete fountain approximately 15 - 20 gal. It gets mid-day sun only. no fish, and very hard water. good aeration from water falling and algae grows VERY fast. I have ferns around the fountain.
    A

    Cutrine Plus is intended for large bodies of water and cannot be used in fountains.  At this moment we don't carry anything labeled to treat algae in a small fountain. You may need to check your local stores to see what they have that may help.

    We were able to find a couple articles that may be offer other tips to care for your fountain:

  • Asked by Sylvia from Moreland, Georgia
    07/23/2021
    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.

  • Asked by Kristy from Westport, Ma
    03/27/2017
    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 Emily from Greenville
    05/27/2018
    Q
    If the Cutrine Plus Algaecide is not safe for carp, depending on water hardness, how do I test water hardness?
    A

    We do not see anything on the Cutrine Pus Algaecide label that says it is unsafe for carp or anything regarding water hardness. It does mention that trout could be harmed if the water is too soft or acidic. There are a few different ways to go about testing your water levels so you may want to just google a few options or videos to see what is easiest or best for you.
