interesting. ive heard about the barley pads but we've never tried them...


Jose - Nice work on the canopy...If i was in SoCal I would have refuge similar.

The good think about Barley, be it pad, liquid, bale or dry, is it is natural. Not chemically based. Overdosing is nil with a few precautions...
 
Kaze - Try to physically remove as much algae as poss. Barley will work on the algea already present, but will help it along if you remove some. It is then added once the algae is gone as a preventative maint. tool. Barley inhibites new or re-growth.
